“To thrive in today’s changing landscape, brands need to not only look ahead, but also continue delivering authentic and emotional customer experiences. Zendesk empowers companies to do that,” said Maxwell Luthy, Director of Trends & Insights at TrendWatching. “I’m looking forward to Relate and the important conversations about how we can evolve with the modern customer and build the best customer experiences for the future.”
The agenda includes 50+ sessions across five tracks covering issues and topics geared toward how Zendesk is reimagining the customer experience, such as:
Collaborating with chatbots
Handling customer conflict
Delivering dynamic experiences with an open, modern platform
Translating metrics for the c-suite
Transforming your support from transactional to consultative
Scaling with smart self-service
Modernizing the customer experience
“Customers are moving forward, and so many brands are failing to keep up because entrenched technology and complex processes are holding them back,” said Sarah Stealey Reed, Senior Director of Content Marketing and Events at Zendesk. “At this year’s Relate we’ll dig into how we can move away from ‘the way we’ve always done things’ to adapt and evolve as fast as our customers.”
Relate will also include a Zendesk Training Day with product workshops, product training and certification, and hands-on exercises to enhance your Zendesk admin skills.
