The human heat map: Where customer marketers really stand
In this highly interactive icebreaker session, attendees will respond to a series of bold, polarizing customer marketing statements by physically moving across the room to represent their position from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree.” From advocacy incentives and customer communities to AI-generated storytelling, reference programs, and executive engagement strategies, each statement is designed to spark honest reactions and uncover the diverse perspectives shaping modern customer marketing. As participants explain the reasoning behind where they stand, the session will open up candid conversations around the trade-offs, assumptions, and real-world experiences influencing today’s programs. Expect fresh perspectives, lively debate, and plenty of insight before the first coffee break.
