Pulse Conferences Have Attracted Over 18 Thousand Attendees Signaling the Global Reach of Customer Success
[San Francisco – October 9, 2018] Gainsight™, the Customer Success company, today announced a series of new destinations for its Customer Success industry conference, Pulse. Throughout the 2018 fall season, the company will host Pulse events in key U.S. Customer Success communities; Boston, Chicago, and Austin, and international communities; London, England, and Sydney, Australia. Started in 2013 by Gainsight, the Pulse brand of programs has since welcomed over 18,000 attendees to its conferences, and has become universally accepted as the industry conference of record for the global Customer Success community.
Customer Success is becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing business practices. According to LinkedIn, Customer Success Manager jobs (CSM) have grown exponentially over the last five years; CSM is the fourth fastest growing job in the U.S., the sixth fastest growing job in India, and the number one emerging job in Australia. As a result of this growing trend, Gainsight has decided to expand Pulse, the well-known Customer Success industry conference, into new national and international markets where the profession is growing and businesses are adopting Customer Success practices. The conference aims to gather executives and professionals in post-sales and customer-facing roles to exchange best practices in building and managing Customer Success programs and consequently growing into successful recurring revenue businesses within their respective markets.
“Customer Success is gaining traction in almost every industrialized economy on the planet, and as more and more companies adopt recurring revenue business models, the need for standardization and best practices, community and advancement will become paramount in every major market on the globe,” said Anthony Kennada, Gainsight Chief Marketing Officer. “Our vision for Pulse is to connect this exciting global community together, and to localize the movement wherever the profession is practiced.”
Pulse is the annual destination for Customer Success professionals from all industries to share best practices, learn about new industry developments, network with peers, and celebrate being pioneers of the emerging profession. The events include educational sessions on industry best practices, exciting special events and compelling keynotes from leading companies and experts on Customer Success.
