TweetHighlights of UserConf 2013
On May 3rd, 2013 I had the pleasure of attending UserConf 2013: The conference about keeping your customers (happy). It was more informative, inspiring, and fun than I could have thought possible. Here are the highlights:
The speakers. The lineup was really impressive:
Richard White, UserVoice // Founder/CEO
Sarah Hatter, CoSupport // Founder/CEO
Darnell Witt, Vimeo // Director of Support & Community
Rich Armstrong, Fog Creek // General Manager
Marssy Benitez, Flickr // Support Operations Manager
Andrea Murphy, Meetup // Community Manager
Jon Lane, Harvest // Quality Assurance
Bill Bounds, Mailchimp // Head of Support
Max Crowley & Alex Priest, Uber // Community Managers
My favorite speaker was definitely Darnell Witt, Director of Support & Community at Vimeo. The love he has for his job and the Vimeo community really came through in his presentation. He also noted a direct correlation between support team morale and the number of GIFs in your workflow.
The venue. As someone who used to work in publishing, attending a conference at the Scholastic building felt like coming home. And having lunch on the roof on a beautiful day was a pure delight.
Swag and surprises. Frozen yogurt, cake, t-shirts, MailChimp dolls, temporary tattoos, a photobooth, and more added an element of fun that made the day truly memorable.
Final Grade: +A
The next UserConf is taking place in San Francisco on October 18th, 2013.
