Optimizely Announces Opticon21: Digital Experience Leaders to Convene at Global, Virtual Event

Keynoted by bestselling author Scott Galloway, Opticon21 will address how organizations can adapt to change to reach their potential, drive outcomes and deliver excellent digital experiences

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leading provider of digital experience platform solutions, Optimizely, today announced it will be hosting Opticon21, a global, virtual event for digital business leaders looking to take their organizations from stable to adaptive. The event, focused on helping brands get on the path to potential, will stream live in three regions: on September 21 in North America, September 22 in Europe and September 23 in Asia Pacific. Those interested in attending can register for free.

As customer behaviors and preference evolve, organizations must adapt. Too often, a multiple of challenges prevent this growth, keeping businesses as stable and reactive. At Opticon21, attendees across departments – including marketers, merchandisers, developers and content editors – will learn not only how to survive in the current environment, but to thrive by adapting to change.

Headlining a roster of impressive speakers, Scott Galloway will discuss the unique moment facing brands today in an address titled “Post-Corona: From Crisis to Opportunity.” The bestselling author, cohost of Pivot Podcast and professor of marketing at NYU Stern School of Business is known to be a savvy thinker with provocative takes and accurate predictions about business and technology. In his keynote, Galloway will explore the changing business landscape, the origins of those changes long before the pandemic, how they’ll continue to shape our lives and more.

“Customer and digital experience are increasingly becoming synonymous,” said Alex Atzberger, CEO of Optimizely. “We’re proud to partner with leading global businesses to help them adapt their digital experiences to ever changing customer expectations and replace assumptions with knowing. At Opticon21, we look forward to discussing how marketing and product teams can come together on one platform to develop content-driven digital experiences that produce incredible outcomes.”

Speakers will address topics including “the new era of DXP” and “how digitally-savvy consumers choose who they do business with,” along with customer keynotes and Optimizely’s product vision roadmap. Joining Optimizely leaders on the virtual stage will be additional industry-leading speakers, including:

  • Alex Corey, Managing Director, Revenue, Products & Strategy, Alaska Airlines
  • Joan King, SVP of eCommerce & International Optimization, Crate & Barrel
  • Dawn Baker, Head of Platform Engineering, Fitbit
  • Brendan Witcher, VP, Principal Analyst, Forrester
  • Casey McGee, VP of Global ISV Sales, Microsoft
  • …and more!

Don’t forget to register for free. For every Opticon21 registration, Optimizely will donate to WWF-Netherlands, UNICEF and Australian Red Cross as part of attendees’ collective effort to support these amazing organizations.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
