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.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend Gainsight’s Pulse conference.

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!
