TORONTO, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, advocate marketing experts Influitive gathered nearly 1,000 B2B marketing, customer success, and executive leaders at the second annual Advocamp conference in San Francisco. Advocamp is the only conference dedicated to the intersection of customer engagement, experience, and advocacy. Over three days, attendees participated in professional development workshops, listened to thought provoking keynotes from the likes of Dan Ariely, Daniel Pink, and Jay Baer, and took in over 40 TED Talk-style sessions called AMP Talks.
Leading analyst firms indicate that the best way to compete in 2016 and beyond is through exceptional customer experience. They recommend that B2B marketing leaders shift from a focus on customer acquisition and demand generation to engaging and retaining customers, and converting them into advocates. The content at Advocamp is designed to help B2B marketers act on these recommendations. See the AMP Talks slides here.
