Another successful Conversion Conference San Francisco wrapped up last week and we are immensely grateful to everyone who joined us there. The SF event marked the 5th year of the Conversion Conference event series. Although we’re a bit saddened that it would be the final ConvCon in San Francisco, we’re glad that we had this opportunity to spread the conversion rate optimization in the Bay area one last time (and reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones is simply…priceless!).
Half a decade of preaching CRO
Continuing the conference’s tradition of providing a space for web optimization and digital marketing professionals to learn and forge relationships, this year’s event brought together the best and the brightest in the website conversion optimization field to share success stories and their best tips. Keynote speakers Tim Ash, Bryan Eisenberg (who was back at ConvCon for the first time since 2010), and psychologist Bart Schutz impressed attendees with their knowledge on conversion maturity, ecommerce optimization, and psychological techniques for persuading visitors.
The sessions encouraged attendees to light Twitter up with insights on testing, persuasion, web design, mobile optimization, content marketing, usability, and user experience:
