Chicago has inspired novelists, movie directors, politicians and innovators.
It's also inspired the team at CMSWire — which is why we are returning once again to the Windy City this November to share the latest strategies, technologies, practices and case studies in digital customer experience at our third annual DX Summit (#DXS17).
DXS17 will take place Nov. 13 through 15 at the award-winning Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago, with a full day of pre-conference workshops on Nov. 13.
The Goal Remains the Same: Delivering Exceptional DX
The digital experience landscape has changed dramatically in the two short years since our inaugural DX Summit. Artificial intelligence has opened new opportunities to automate and personalize customer experiences, the borders between ecommerce and digital experience have blurred and chatbots have stepped in to support customer service. But throughout all of the changes the end goal remains the same: delivering exceptional customer experiences.
"Today we see very informed and demanding customers, who equate brands with experiences. That means that if the customer digital journey is a good one, the customer is willing to pay for the excellent experience, even when it comes at a premium. Conversely, if the customer digital journey is a poor one, it can quickly anger customers, lead to unfavorable reviews and social media shout outs, damage the brand and company financial performance."
As with the first two conferences, DXS17 will bring together thought leaders, practitioners and analysts to share their insights into how to deliver the customer experiences that succeed.
Delivering customer experiences takes coordinated effort on the back end to "enable digital workers within the organization to use their creativity and innovation around digital while still ensuring a cohesive and exceptional customer experience." Podnar will explain how to do this during her Nov. 13 workshop, "Choreographing Creativity: Deliver Great CX through Digital Standards."

DXS17 will feature a unique mix of interactive workshops, case studies and technology-driven spotlights focused on four main themes:

"To remain competitive, digital professionals must up their game in driving more actions from data-driven measurements about customer experience. That takes asking the right questions, connecting to the metrics that matter, and combining measurement types. And most of all, making progress with what you have now."
Sheryl Kingstone, director of research with 451 Research, returns this year to share some of the latest best practices to help businesses embrace new digital strategies.
