COGNITION 2021 comes at a critical time in the evolution of customer learning. Recent research found that customer education is a vital tool to retaining customers, but many organizations still don’t know how to develop a profitable program. The conference will consist of three information-packed days with sessions featuring executives from leading software organizations including IBM, Hubspot and Oracle, as well as partners such as ServiceRocket and TSIA. In addition to keynotes and panel discussions, COGNITION will have hands-on workshops and networking opportunities, so customer education teams can problem solve and learn from each other.

“Companies are looking for new ways to assess and provide impactful learning experiences across mediums, roles and disciplines—especially given the growing recognition that customer learning efforts are critical to retaining customers and driving additional revenue,” said Barry Kelly, chief executive officer, Thought Industries. “COGNITION will bring together leading voices on customer learning to explore why customer education is critical, especially in increasingly remote working and learning environments, and how to shape effective learning programs for business success.”
