Qualtrics Announces ExperienceWeek™, World's Largest Event For Helping Organizations Create Experiences That Matter

"Brands today are being rewarded, or punished, primarily based on the experiences they provide. Consumers have so many options today. While products can be imitated, the experiences that differentiate brands are much harder to duplicate," said Ryan Smith, co-founder and CEO at Qualtrics. "Market leaders know that experience is the key competitive advantage, and they are focused on optimizing the experiences they provide across the organization, both internal and external."

ExperienceWeek provides best practices for companies on how to provide impactful experiences to customers, employees and other stakeholders to help differentiate their products and brands. The event will feature icons of the experience world like BMW, Delta, Facebook, Ideo, JetBlue, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Stance, Traeger, Twitter, Warby Parker, and more, and will include revolutionary teachings and tutorials from today's leading experience visionaries and tacticians, including:

• Craig Westbrook from BMW will discuss the Power of a Single Ride, how BMW has grown loyal followers into one of the motorcycling world's cult brands.
• Jeff Lesser of Twitter will provide tips for creating rich, personalized conversations on Twitter for stronger product or brand experiences.
