Workshop: Making the Most of Customer Data Platforms
Monday, June 4, 2018 in Las Vegas
Half-Day: 8:30am – 12:00pm
Today’s marketers have more data available than ever but struggle to pull in together in a usable format. Customer Data Platforms promise to solve this problem by offering easy-to-deploy systems specializing in data unification and sharing. Still, marketers are rightly wary: can CDP really deliver on its promise?

You’ll understand the definition of a CDP, how CDPs differ from other systems, which features are shared by all CDPs and which are found in only some, the most important CDP use cases, how to select the right CDP, how to manage a successful deployment, and where to look next for more information. A mix of lecture, discussion, and exercises ensures your questions are answered and you come away with a working understanding of key issues and opportunities.
The workshop will cover:
- why CDPs matter, including how CDP fits into the larger marketing data architecture, key benefits provided by CDPs, and an overview of the CDP industry and trends.
- how CDPs create value, including how CDP relates to business and marketing strategy, developing CDP use cases, and uncovering requirements for CDP success.
- selecting the right CDP, including requirements definition, key differentiators, specific features to look for, and running an effective selection process.
