Gainsight Announces Pulse 2015, the Customer Success Industry’s Flagship Conference

Over 2000 Customer Success Leaders Expected at San Francisco’s Pier 48 on May 12-13, 2015

Redwood City, CA  – Nov. 19, 2014 – 

Gainsight, the Customer Success company, announced today plans for the third annual Pulse Conference 2015, to be held from May 12-13, 2015 at San Francisco’s historic Pier 48. Pulse is the largest gathering of the Customer Success industry; a two day event for leaders of global subscription businesses to learn and share best practices while networking with their peers in Customer Success. Last year, almost 1000 attendees packed out the venue in San Francisco as business luminary Malcolm Gladwell keynoted the historic event. Attendance is expected to double at next year’s Pulse 2015 as Gainsight today opened ticket sales at a reduced “Super Early Bird” rate of $695 through the end of the year.

Gainsight also announced today that PulseLocal, a local networking community initiative of Customer Success leaders, has expanded to over 1000 members in 12 key cities around the United States and Canada. PulseLocal community members meet monthly to network, share their experiences, and develop great programs and relationships to lead their world in Customer Success.

“Pulse has become so much more than an annual conference, but truly the heartbeat of the Customer Success industry,” said Nick Mehta, CEO at Gainsight. “We feel a deep responsibility to continue our facilitation of idea exchange and networking amongst the greatest thinkers and doers in the Customer Success community. Pulse 2015 will be a step function above 2014 in scale and production — we can’t wait to share more details!”
