Support Manager
Or, remind me later
UserConf is the only conference of its kind, built to bring education and insight to people working in customer support, customer success & product management at the world's best, or soon to be best, online products, services and marketplaces.
We searched high and low for an event that addressed the kind of user-facing challenges that next generation businesses like us were running into every day. Issues like how to scale & optimize customer support (without losing our humanity) or how to make sense of mountains of behavior and qualitative customer feedback to build the best product possible.
We also wanted an event that felt like a reunion of your best, and smartest, friends. An event that focused more on war stories and lessons learned from our peers rather than "advice" from "gurus". An event with sponsors you actually wanted to learn more about. An event that was as fun and irreverent as we are.
We couldn't find that event… so we started UserConf.
The juiciest lessons learned, from smartest people, at the best companies on the web.

I know a conference is really good when I become so engrossed that I forget to tweet. #userconf

“What struck me most was how young, energetic, and eager to learn everyone in attendance was. Like a who’s who of amazing startups, fast rising web companies, and a few juggernauts in attendance.”
“There’s not really any conferences out that geared towards what I do and how I interact with customers so UserConf was a breath of fresh air.”
UserVoice CEO Richard White talks about why web business isn’t what it used to be and how customer care is crucial to success.
Ben Congleton of Olark talks about how all-hands support changed his company for the better.
“It was more informative, inspiring, and fun than I could have thought possible. Final Grade: +A!”
“Our amazing speakers covered everything from marriage advice to scaling customer service to the absolute do-not’s and the best strategies.”
“Our primary goal is to provide customer service that’s worth recommending to other people. The speakers at UserConf gave some great advice on how to provide that type of service.”
Kevin Hale’s awesome talk from UserConf 2012 on designing software users love.
“I could go on for many more paragraphs about the great conversations had with many of the attendees, the tasty food, the awesome service from the hosts, and the incredible venue…”
If you’re asking who actually decided to pull this event together, that’d be the fine folks at UserVoice and CoSupport. Not a customer? No sweat. This event is for you too. We hope you’ll learn more about both companies, but this conference isn’t one of those long product infomercials. We won’t pitch you, bro.
