BigMachines' Annual User and Industry Conference is Just Weeks Away!  Speakers. Sessions. Roundtables. Oh My! There’s no place like Chicago this October. BigIdeas has continuously grown over the years, making BigIdeas Chicago 2010 the largest SaaS event of its kind. We are looking forward to engaging with you, our customers, prospects and partners, in ongoing conversations about the directions your businesses are growing and how we can help you succeed with innovations that help you sell more and sell faster.
Our event schedule has grown along with our attendance count – this year’s event includes more roundtable discussions than ever before, which offer you a chance to learn best practices and share ideas directly with your peers. With the launch of BigMachines 11, we will have hands-on training throughout the conference, as well as BigMachines Admin Certification testing during the event, and Advanced Admin Training after the event. BigMachines is honored to have so many great partners – these industry leaders will help facilitate interactive sessions with the BigMachines team in order to help you overcome B2B sales challenges.
In addition to interactive sessions, BigIdeas boasts an impressive list of speakers, including a keynote address from Steven Levitt, author of the best selling business books Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics. At BigIdeas,Steven will demonstrate how his Freakonomics approach (combining data, economic theory, and creative, unorthodox thinking) can be applied to selling business products and services and to the development of B2B eCommerce. Gene Alvarez, a VP in the Gartner CRM Research organization, will also speak at BigIdeas. Alvarez was a highly rated speaker at our 2009 event and will discuss eCommerce in a Socially Mobile World.
But that’s not all – BigIdeas Chicago 2010 will feature customer panels, a live game show, and a celebration of Ten Years of BigMachines hosted at Chicago’s House of Blues. We hope you will join us to celebrate the past ten years and launch a new era of B2B cross-channel selling.
