What is The Optimizely Experience? Good question. After the success of OptiCon, our first customer conference held in San Francisco this past April, we realized just how excited our customers were to connect with us and each other in person. Optimization is an activity between you and your computer but there is so much value in live, in-person events where serendipitous connections and conversations are possible. So we decided to pack up our laptops, pop-up banners, boxes of swag and take that experience on the road.

Between July and September we’ll be hosting events in Seattle, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Silicon Valley. Each event is free—yes, totally free to attend. Spots are limited so register now in a city near you. We’re hoping to connect with current customers and anyone interested in creating the best digital experience possible for their brand.

OptEx-citiesThe Optimizely Experience will be a chance to dig deep into your digital marketing practice and learn from thought leaders in an intimate setting. We want every person present to feel the momentum behind experience optimization and the real impact that data about those experiences can have on business.

We’ll spend the day hearing from from inspirational thought leaders in conversion rate optimization, soak up practical teachings in data-driven marketing, and network with peers and industry leaders. Our agenda has been carefully selected to bring you the most engaging and actionable experience.
