COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HDI, the leading organization dedicated to elevating service and support across the enterprise, is pleased to announce SupportWorld Live: A Digital Experience taking place virtually from August 11-12, 2020, with pre-show virtual training from August 4th – 6th. This digital experience takes the place of SupportWorld Live’s in-person conference and tradeshow that was scheduled for August in Las Vegas.

“We have reimagined SupportWorld Live in a way that will debunk the myth that online events are one-dimensional and dry,” said Joy Sobhani, Event Director, HDI. “Our focus is to capture the most important elements from our live event and deliver content, products, and networking with energy and inspiration.”

SupportWorld Live: A Digital Experience features:

Keynote Speakers
Timely and inspiring keynote speakers kick off each day of the virtual program. Greg Verdino, business futurist and digital transformation expert, presents “The Path Forward: Customer Experience in the Age of the Unexpected,” and Sara Ross, Chief Vitality Officer at BrainAMPED, will discuss “Building Emotional Vitality to Thrive Through Crisis.”

Conference Program
Thirty sessions are grouped into five learning tracks that focus on topics such as revolutionizing the customer experience, metrics and reporting, knowledge management, and building a top-notch support culture. Case studies will be presented by Freddie Mac, Navy Federal Credit Union, Boston University, Duke University School of Nursing, and Mercury Insurance, to name a few, providing real-world examples of problems faced by a broad range of IT organizations and the solutions they implemented to solve them.

Intuitive and Interactive Matchmaking
SupportWorld Live: A Digital Experience uses AI-based matchmaking and content suggestions to smartly and efficiently enhance the attendee experience. In addition to customized recommendations, the digital experience will include pre-event networking, themed video discussion groups, happy hours based on industry or topic area, and mindfulness breaks.

Virtual Expo Hall
SupportWorld Live: A Digital Experience includes a robust virtual expo hall, featuring leading solution providers, including Diamond sponsors SolarWinds and ServiceNow. Attendees will be able to view demos, meet with exhibitors via text or video chat, attend sponsored sessions, download resources, participate in prize giveaways, and much more!
