Technical Summit is a multi-day event that brings together the technical field teams in Customer Solutions Group and other Global Field Operations teams to share our expertise and experiences, deepen our technical skills, and sharpen our ability to Earn Our Customer’s Love.
Technical Summit is March 2 – 4, 2021. Please refer to the Schedule above for a detailed agenda and start times per region.
Technical Summit is targeted towards our customer-facing technical teams and can be thought of as the technical extension of Sales Kickoff (SKO). SKO is an annual event that brings together select sales and customer solutions teams to kick-start the new selling year. Both events aim to help attendees come away with a clear understanding of our 2021 goals, objectives, and opportunities through hands-on learning.
Tech Summit 2021 will be completely virtual and take place leveraging Zoom meetings & other virtual platforms such as Slack and SalesHood. Detailed instructions on how to access your sessions will be shared in our “Know Before You Go” email the week before Technical Summit 2021.
Technical Summit 2021 is an invite-only event, specifically for teams that are in technical roles that directly engage with our customers every day. These teams include: Solution Engineers, Professional Services, Customer Solutions & Innovation (CSID), Technical Support Engineers, Customer Success Engineers, Customer Success Technical Architects, Education, and select other teams from Global Field Operations.
Anyone who was NOT on the original invite list will need to receive approval. Please email GTMEvents@confluent.io to receive approval.
Plans are underway for an event packed with dynamic keynotes, interactive sessions, unique networking opportunities, and hands-on workshops.
You will receive your “Know Before You Go” within a week of Tech Summit. Be sure to check your email and the Tech Summit website for the most up-to-date information.
Yes, there will be some pre-work that you should complete prior to attending. We will do our best to ensure this pre-work is a valuable use of your time. Please keep an eye out for more details regarding pre-work coming soon.
Each week, the events team receives a list of new employees and if you meet the criteria, you will receive an event invite. If you are new to the company and if, based on your role, you believe you should be on the invitee list and have not received an invite after your first week, please email GTMEvents@confluent.io.
All cancellations must be received in writing. Email GTMEvents@confluent.io your cancellation notice as soon as your plans change.
Get excited for an informative week of training as we gear up for the year ahead! Come camera-ready and eager to engage with your colleagues from around the globe.
