Happy Hour

Join us in the Partner Hall for a happy hour with our sponsors.

Creating an Immersive Fan Experience

Developing an immersive customer experience is how brands are creating distinction as products and services are becoming more and more ubiquitous. 

In this session, hear how the PGA and NHL are thinking about, developing, and delivering an immersive customer experience for their fans. 

They’ll share how they’re planning for uncertainty (COVID impacts), their roles in creating this experience between sports teams/players, how fan emotions play a role in communications, how changing consumer habits impacts go-to-market efforts, and what effectiveness looks like in order to determine success.

Creativity Under Stress: 3 Ways to Unlock Ingenuity

Do you ever feel like you’re at a loss for solutions, time, or energy? Do you feel like so much of your energy gets spent on your list of revolving tasks and on putting out fires that you don’t have any energy left for thinking creatively when you most need to?

We have all been there.

The good news is that there are practical solutions that support your ability to thrive and be creative under pressure. Neuroscience studies have shown that somatic practices unlock our ability to be creative and resilient even in high-stress environments.

During this interactive session, you will learn how to meet your goals in high-pressure moments, find new solutions to old problems, and have ease with your team during periods of upheaval and change. Solunis Nicole Bay will share how creativity and somatics can deepen your ability to help you move through stuckness and fear to take action in stressful times.

Studio and Segmentation: Building Complex, Reusable Audiences for Dynamic Content

Who doesn’t love a good list? With Iterable, you can leverage segmentation and studio tools to build complex lists that power dynamic content across multiple campaigns.

Join Cinemark’s Sr. Manager of Digital Communications, Anna Bayacal, in this session to learn more about how to manage different content across different cohorts and teams—using Studio to increase the accuracy of your messaging. Hear more about how to maximize efficiency by refreshing data on standard lists, so that the logic only needs to be set once.

Beyond the Buzzword: Why it’s Time to Ignore “Best Practices”

“Best practices” is one of those phrases that never seems to go away. Ultimately, we all want to do our due diligence, especially when it comes to crafting an email program. But when does a “best practice” turn a guideline into a limit?

In this session with Allie Donovan, Quince’s Head of Retention & Lifecycle Marketing, discover why it’s time to throw out historical best practices, and look instead at individual demographics, behaviors, and testing strategies to maximize email engagement and revenue. You’ll learn how to think differently and develop strategies for testing against best practices and you’ll leave with fresh campaign ideas.

Test 1, 2, 3: Creating an A/B Testing Framework

Let’s say you’re feeling inspired and you write a poem about Activate Summit. How would you know if it’s a good poem? The truth is, it’s hard to evaluate something that’s subjective if you don’t have a framework in place. (Although we’d love to see that poem.)

The same is true when it comes to crafting successful A/B tests—a solid framework is crucial. Join this session with Tally’s Sr. Lifecycle Marketing Manager, Alex Orton, to uncover how to use Iterable to create an effective A/B testing framework to clarify, guide, and power up your experiments.

Connect and Collect: Propelling Customer Journeys with the Power of Automation

Are you pushing the limits of Iterable’s automation toolset? If your small-but-mighty marketing squad has limited engineering resources, then it’s vital to utilize catalogs, data feeds, and third-party platforms to automate workflows.

No one knows this better than the team at StreetEasy. With more than 12 catalogs and data feeds in production, StreetEasy delivers over 80 million hyper-personalized campaigns each month to their audiences — without lifting a finger

Presenting with Impact

Presenting with Impact is a group training that concentrates on developing skills in content structure, messaging, use of stories and analogies, and effective delivery style. Participants practice these skills by preparing a short spoken presentation for the group, followed by targeted and actionable feedback from the trainer and fellow participants to identify opportunities to improve their impact. Participants are encouraged to identify their pertinent real-life stories and use them to connect with audiences.

How to Create Process Out of CRM Chaos

Process improvements can always be made —whether you’re building a new CRM program, joining an existing one, or finding yourself bogged down in the daily routine of a program that you’ve used for years. But how do you pinpoint the CRM processes that need review? And how do you prioritize the need-to-haves versus the nice-to-haves? This session will dig into exactly what you need to improve efficiency and decrease service-level agreements (SLAs). Discover tips and tricks for making smart process adjustments that increase or maintain your program’s output quality.
