Our community was showcased in the keynote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cToday we\u2019re going to get serious about connecting because we\u2019re here to help you focus on getting a single view of your customer,\u201d said Salesforce CMO Stephanie Buscemi on the keynote stage. \u201cOur job is to inspire you, motivate you, empower you. We\u2019re all on this path together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buscemi outlined how an incredible wave of innovation and technology is radically transforming our economies, our societies, and our daily lives \u2014 this is what is known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re all connected. It&#8217;s already happened. We&#8217;re not entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution \u2014 we&#8217;re in the midst of it,\u201d said Buscemi. This means that because we\u2019re all now connected, our expectations have changed and we now all want smarter, faster, always-on experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting these expectations has been a challenge. Once upon a time, it was tough for companies to collect information and data from customers; now we have an overwhelming amount of it, all across disparate systems and lines of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are smart, innovative people who bridge that divide, solve problems, and drive customer success in the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Trailblazers. Whether delivering awesome user experiences, accelerating productivity or improving their business acumen, Trailblazers push their companies to embrace the future of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fawad Ahmad is one such Trailblazer. The lights dimmed as the audience watched his story unfold on screen. As Senior Vice President of Digital and Customer Experience at State Farm Insurance, Ahmad is committed to building a single view of State Farm\u2019s customer: the policyholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tasked with digitally transforming the nearly 100-year-old company, Ahmad believes that it\u2019s important to treat customer experience as a discipline and to regulate that within the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need to know our customers and who we\u2019re working with. We need to keep finding out what matters. Even if your mobile app is ranked number one, it&#8217;s not enough if you&#8217;re messing it up in the contact centre or service environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-npr-host-shared-his-audience-building-tips\">9. NPR host shared his audience-building tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>National Public Radio\u2019s popular news quiz show Wait Wait&#8230;Don\u2019t Tell Me has been delivering both the news and laughs in the US for decades. The show\u2019s amiable host Peter Sagal gave the Connections audience a behind-the-scenes look at why the show has resonated and grown its audience for the past 21 years \u2014 something many marketers dream of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret? Being authentic to themselves and widely diversifying viewpoints with a broad range of panelists. And having fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople always say that we sound like we\u2019re having so much fun. We are. We work on making ourselves laugh, and then we invite the audience to listen in,\u201d Sagal explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-innovations-and-announcements\">8.

We learned how Trailblazers from companies like Conagra, Pacer Sports and Entertainment, and e.l.f. are shaking up their industries to put their customers in the centre of all they do. We found out why companies need to treat customer experience as a discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, Connections reminded us that Trailblazers are amazing people and that together, we can achieve
