Authentic Experiences. Empowered Connections.

Wednesday | April 7, 2021 | 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM PDT

Why Attend

Today’s consumers expect more from brands. The ideal customer experience is no longer singular across a wide audience. It’s individualized and human. This year at Activate Live we are bringing you stories, insights, and strategies you can take with you to make your customer experience memorable. You don’t have to dream of building a long-lasting relationship with your customers anymore. At Activate, you can make it a reality.

Who You’ll Meet

Activate Live is for anyone who wants to connect with their customers on a personal level. To make it a little more personal for you we want to recognize your talents. Because to us, you are the dreamers, builders, and makers that create memorable experiences for your customers.

  Dreamers
Dreamers constantly have an innovative, clear eye on the future. They think big and identify the direction of your brand and ensure customers grow along with the business.

  Builders
Builders thrive when solving problems and shaping the foundation on which the business succeeds. They construct products that bring customers joy and create the best infrastructure to empower brand growth.

  Makers
Makers foster connections directly with customers. They craft strategies and tactics that promote long term relationships and satisfy the customer’s call for individualization.
