We Are All Trailblazers: Customer Success in the Fourth Industrial Revolution

10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.: Skyline Ballroom

We’re in the midst of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” — a time when both technological innovation is transforming our daily lives and customers are demanding smarter, faster, and more personalized experiences. In this session, you’ll learn how the Salesforce Customer Success Platform can help you do just that. Salesforce President and Chief Product Officer, Bret Taylor, will lead a keynote and panel discussion around how brands like Ticketmaster, Adidas, and US Bank are using the latest Salesforce innovations — Trailhead, Einstein, and Lightning — to blaze a new trail for customer success.

The Little Kids Rock All-City Band (a Connections 2018 charity partner) will close out the Wednesday morning keynote.

Consumers shop everywhere. Business buyers are just like consumers. They expect the same kind of customer experience even when making business-related purchases. This is just one of many reasons why brands now have no choice but to deliver an end-to-end brand experience – informed by data, of course – at every step along the buyer's journey. In this session, we'll take a closer look at how Lacoste has driven growth across eCommerce, brick-and-mortar, and wholesale and then examine how a number of top brands are now innovating the customer experience with AI, voice, visual search, modernized service, and a lot more.
