X Change is the premier conference for Web analytics professionals. With its groundbreaking peer-to-peer small group format ("huddles"), impressive level of sophistication among participants and fantastic accommodations and events, X Change has forged a fresh new approach to the digital measurement conference.
How does X Change work?
The idea is simple – the most productive and interesting parts of any conference are the spontaneous conversations you have with peers. So we based X Change entirely upon those conversations. The format makes for a unique, more interesting and educational experience.
