Call for Experts: Take the Summit Stage in New York City

We’re officially opening a call for Customer Experts to speak at Meltwater Summit, happening May 5–6 in New York City.

Meltwater Community was built so customers can learn from each other, share what actually works, and see how peers approach similar challenges. The Experts with Insights program exists to surface those real-world lessons and give people a platform to share them.

For Summit, we’re inviting customer Experts to step on stage in NYC and lead practical, insight-driven workshops for fellow customers.

Yes, this means being on the speaker lineup alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in NYC.
