Searching for a valuable conference for customer support in 2020? Check out the cutting-edge content we'll be covering at Empower by Guru in Philly this May.
News flash: Guru’s Empower conference is coming back for its second year! Empower is a hub for thought leaders across the CX, Sales Enablement, and Knowledge Management fields. If you're anything like us, you probably have your hesitations pulling the trigger on a conference without being 100% sure that it will be valuable and well worth your time. So we're pulling back the curtains to give you a sneak peak of the key themes, amazing speakers, and killer content you'll see within each track at Empower.
Each of those tracks will be guided by an overarching theme, with 3 main subtopics that will guide our speaker sessions, lightning talks, and community cohorts.
Let’s kick it off with the wonderful world of CX. We’re still tinkering with exact topics, so things are subject to change, but we promise to keep you in the Empower loop.
The Customer Experience, Experience at Empower — drum roll, please… Our CX track north star: Creating amazing customer experiences by driving empathy and empowering agents.
Your support teams will show up as their best selves when they’re being set up for success, and that will enable them to deliver best-in-class customer experiences.
