About
The Event

With all the turmoil going on in our field, tying our work back to the numbers our organizations care about matters more than ever.

In the past, much of our work has focused on improving experiences for our users. We love to see it, but it doesn’t pay the bills. Growth does.

 

When leadership sees work that ties directly to the user and revenue growth they are being measured against, they take note. And the more we tie our insights to those growth goals, the more successful research will be on the individual and discipline level.

 

So, how do we get more growth wins on the board? Let’s talk about some new approaches we can use to drive the bottom line.

Researching to Win

Research is often a reactive practice, disconnected from the mission-critical decisions that propel a company’s growth in revenue and users. But what if your insights became a secret weapon for capturing market share? In this talk, Jennie from Rippling shares how her team is researching to win. Discover the importance of expanding your inquiry beyond core ICPs and use cases, and why studying the competition should be central to your roadmaps. Develop a compelling point of view on what a winning product looks like—one that leadership can’t ignore.

Logging in to Growth UXR

To do growth research at scale, we need more than just interviews and surveys. In this talk, David Orzechowicz shares how user logs can reveal powerful growth levers hiding in plain sight—and why this underused method deserves a spot in every researcher’s toolkit.
