Semarchy US Client Advisory Board
Event - Online | November 12, 2020
It is already that time of year - the leaves are changing, temperatures are dropping, and it was time to host our favorite event, the 3rd Annual Semarchy Client Advisory Board.
While we would have preferred to gather in person, it was also a benefit that the virtual environment allowed us to bridge geographical boundaries and have more clients participate than ever before. November 12 was for our first-ever virtual Client Advisory Board (CAB).
What to expect from this event?
As in years prior we covered:
- Hear from our CEO, Salah Kamel, as he reflects on the past year as well as our future plans for Semarchy and xDM.
- FX Nicolas, VP of Product Success, shares the product roadmap in a deeper, more technical dive into xDM.
- Guest Speaker Kevin Petrie - Industry Analyst at Eckerson
- Two Semarchy clients will share their experiences and testimonials in actual use cases.
- Your feedback and interaction is key to the success of this event, and we will have a features workshop where your input will help determine future updates.
