The Personalization Summit 2018 to Reveal Strategies for "Realizing the One-to-One Dream"

Premier Industry Event, Hosted by Evergage, to Feature Keynotes from CX Luminary Don Peppers and Evergage CEO Karl Wirth - Along with Personalization Insights and Success Stories from Global Brands

SOMERVILLE, Mass., Aug. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Evergage, The 1-to-1 Platform company, today announced the agenda for its fifth annual Personalization Summit, to be held Sept. 11-13, at the Boston Park Plaza. With a theme of "Realizing the One-to-One Dream," this premier industry event will provide strategies and techniques, as well as panel discussions, case studies and exclusive workshops, to help attendees deliver tailored, relevant customer experiences at the individual level.

"For so long, the one-to-one dream was, for marketers, exactly that… a dream," said Karl Wirth, Evergage CEO and author of the award-winning book "One-to-One Personalization in the Age of Machine Learning." "But in the last few years – as companies have begun harnessing AI and machine learning, customer data platforms and predictive analytics – we've seen an important move from one-to-many communications to true one-to-one personalization. The benefits of treating people as individuals are tremendous – particularly as they relate to improving loyalty, engagement, conversions and customer experience. We're excited to share with attendees how the notion of delivering one-to-one experiences at digital scale is rapidly moving from a dream to a business imperative."

The event will bring together more than 250 marketing, e-commerce, customer experience (CX) and product management professionals. Attendees will hear from leaders creating transformative customer experiences across the technology, retail, financial services and media industries and more.
