What makes ElevateCX different?

  • This isn't our first rodeo

    Our first ElevateCX® event was in 2011 in San Francisco. Since then, we've produced over 40 events worldwide and showcased over 300 speakers on stage from companies like Google, Atlassian, Slack, and Zendesk. We curate talks to be on-trend, tactical, and practical for all attendees.

  • Genuine, sustainable community

    Our return rate for attendees is over 80% each year, leading to an authentically connected community that thrives even after our conference has wrapped. Join us in our Slack community to ask questions, share wisdom, and make new connections with other CX leaders.

  • Peer-to-peer learning

    People learn best from people who reflect their own lives. We focus on bringing peer leaders to the stage to empower and encourage them in an accessible way, and we do not hire professional speakers or celebrities.

  • Empowering stories

    Everyone has a story to tell that can encourage, empower, enlighten, and inspire someone. We’re dedicated to telling stories that will resonate with CX leaders no matter where they are in their career journey.

  • Continuing education

    We don’t believe in mountaintop experiences. We focus on creating sustainable educational resources throughout the year. From bi-weekly Masterclasses to our podcast and FXCO program, you’ll be well-integrated into our community at lightning speed.

  • No frills, all thrills

    We are a vibrant, young community of CX leaders uninterested in suits and ties, heavy sponsor promotion, or profit-driven resources. We’d never take equity from a sponsor partner and maintain a strong code of ethics for who we partner with.

No suits, no ties, no NPS scores

CX has evolved, and so should you!

Since our launch in 2012, our mission has always been to share wisdom and encourage folks to pursue a career in customer support, success, knowledge management, or product. Our community members and speakers are decision-makers in their industry, career support practitioners, thought leaders, Customer Support Managers, Directors of CX, Heads of Support, Customer Advocates, and even QA and Documentation Specialists. You’ll be in good company!

We offer a robust online community for topical conversation and peer-to-peer mentorship. We work hard to ensure our attendees maintain authentic relationships beyond the mountain-top experience at one of our events. Twice a month, we offer live masterclasses with a rotating schedule of guests and topics that are all relevant to current trends in customer experience.

What our attendees say

  • "Discovering the ElevateCX community was a game changer for me both personally and professionally! Sarah Hatter believed in me and gave me a chance to speak - forever grateful for her friendship!"

    Andrew Rios, MSML

  • "CX never sits still, and if all you know is what happens inside your own company, you’re already behind. ElevateCX plugged me into a crew of brilliant humans who share fresh perspectives, hard-won lessons, and entertaining antidotes. They’re knowledgeable, nurturing, hilarious, and endlessly supportive—and they make growing myself (and my org) way more fun than it probably should be."New List Item

    Aimee Twigg, Customer Experience Lead, Found

  • "Elevate, more than any other community or conference, has helped me further my support career through meeting excellent, like-minded people. It has made networking easier, finding great talent for teams I'm hiring for a breeze, and surfaced a number of job opportunities for me over the years. Nearly every long-term friend, every trusted advisor, every person I go to for help knocking around an idea I have or problem I'm trying to solve is from the Elevate CX community. The reason, I think, is authenticity - everyone in the community genuinely cares about helping people and creating excellent experiences for customers (and humans in general), and that authenticity is purposefully attended to and curated by the community's organizers."

    Colin Flanigan, Director of CX

  • "It's hard to quantify how much being a member of ElevateCX has impacted my knowledge and career, except to say that I wouldn't be the CX professional I am without it. I highly, highly recommend it for any CX human looking to learn, grow, and give back to their peers and the field as a whole.
