In the ever-evolving landscape of online business, one thing remains constant: the importance of optimizing customer experience across digital properties. To delve into the latest strategies and trends in this field, Sparkline hosted an in-person event last month bringing together our partners, Google and Optimizely, to discuss and explore the art of enhancing customer experience through web optimization.
We welcomed attendees across various industries including fintech, creative, e-commerce, and more from web developers, digital marketers, business owners, data analysts, and the list goes on. It was truly a moment where industries converged, ideas intermingled, and knowledge flowed freely.
Here, we'll take you through some of the key highlights, the speakers who graced the event, and the transformative outcomes discussed.

Proceeding with a Q & A session - we received great engagement from the audience, with thought-provoking questions and perspectives on the themes discussed.
