CONTENT AND SESSIONS


How is content structured at CX DC 2018?
Content at CX DC is structured around a few different session types:

Keynotes: Forrester Analysts, government speakers, and thought leaders take to the main stage over the course of the program to deliver inspirational, forward looking presentations centered around our core themes. 
Deep Dives: Breakout sessions that will help you determine how to react to significant market events with objective analysis and perspectives. Listen to our expert analysts converse with one another on topics such as customer experience, digital transformation, privacy & trust, and deriving actionable insights from data.
Building Blocks: Tightly focused breakout sessions on key technologies and techniques for the CX professional, presented by Forrester and select partners. 

What is the format of the Forum?
Keynote sessions take place on our mainstage with theater-style seating. Deep Dives and Building Blocks take place in smaller rooms and are often set classroom-style, and are highly interactive. 

Are sessions recorded and are session materials made available to attendees?
All mainstage sessions will be recorded in a particular format, and most keynote presentations are made available to attendees. Some speakers however choose to withhold their material because the content is proprietary or competitively sensitive. Deep Dive and Building Blocks sessions are typically not recorded; however, materials are typically be made available for sharing after the Forum.

Unless otherwise noted, all sessions at all Forrester forums are on the record.
