Each year, managers and senior leadership in training organizations at technology companies come together to learn from each other and share ideas. They do this thanks to CEdMA, the Computer Education Management Association. I had the pleasure of attending the first day of this year’s CEdMA Training Leadership Conference in Santa Clara, California, where Skilljar was a sponsor.

We enable training teams to experiment with their training programs and encourage our customers and partners to use data to evolve their programs to maximize the impact of their efforts.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend Gainsight’s Pulse conference. I always love to attend this conference because Gainsight has done a great job of building a community around Customer Success and the topics covered are all dear to me.

It’s a group of customer focused professionals who still get to experiment with their approach and stay on the leading edge of building phenomenal customer experiences based on business outcomes. There is so much great information to share!
