Your sessions, your event
In the same format as last year (unconference style), we want to tailor the discussions to talk about the topics you want to hear about most. This means that you, our customers and colleagues, will be leading the discussion by selecting the topics, participating in the discussions, and hosting some of the sessions.
Our goal is to get to know you better and arm you with the tools you need to optimize email deliverability, improve email operations while enhancing customer experience and business competitiveness. Here’s what you’ll experience:
- Hear directly from the SparkPost product team and learn about new upcoming features and our roadmap
