Following a successful event in New York, Dynamic Yield is heading back to Germany to bring our Personalization Pioneers Summit to Private Roof Club in Berlin on Thursday, September 6th, 2018!
Since last fall, our signature event for personalization professionals has been gathering hundreds of leaders and marketers from a number of different organizations, backgrounds, and disciplines to discuss the future of the consumer experience. Our past summits in New York, Singapore, and Berlin (where it all first started) brought together 345+ people across 135 brands, and featured riveting keynotes from a wide variety of brands and industry leaders, including URBN Brands, Sephora SEA, LFC, Stitch Fix, Mister Spex, NBCUniversal, and CB Insights.
This year, the action-packed day features keynotes from brands like HelloFresh, Chal-Tec, MediaMarkt, and McKinsey, who will share insights, testimonials, use cases and must-know strategies for all personalization practitioners. Attendees will hear first-hand accounts of how personalization has been a game-changing approach for driving ROI. From learning how to initially implement a personalization suite, what steps to take to create a functional, omnichannel customer experience to how these brands began witnessing real returns on their investments. Plus tips and tactics to become a personalization all-star!
Not only does the summit create an opportunity to connect with other professionals navigating their way through personalization maturity, but it also gives attendees the tools and inspiration they need to tackle pain points in their workflows, refine existing strategies, and shape the future of the customer experience.
The day will be filled with knowledge sharing and information that attendees can take home with them to drive growth and optimize returns for their companies. This summit has something for everyone, no matter where they are in their journey to personalization, and includes essential information to keep you up to speed on both the current and future states of personalization.
