SILICON SLOPES, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–XANT, the No. 1 artificial intelligence (AI) growth platform for sales, today announced that C-level executives from Caesars Entertainment, West Corporation and Korn Ferry Hay Group will speak at Accelerate next month. Held March 5-8 at Snowbird Resort in Utah, Accelerate is the only growth conference exclusively for business executives using complex data and AI to manage their organization’s growth. The invite-only event, limited to 350 senior executives (VP, SVP, EVP, CRO, CIO, CMO) from the nation’s top companies, will combine practical thought leadership with transformational business insights to help companies grow. Keynote speakers include bestselling author Michael Lewis, legendary boxing champion Sugar Ray Leonard and football icon Steve Young. Accelerate attendees will get data-driven results that have powered the success of top sales organizations. “Each company presenting—Caesars Entertainment, West Corporation and Korn Ferry Hay Group—has their own sales technology success story,” said Dave Elkington, CEO of XANT. “As a result, each will be an excellent fit for the C-level business executives who will be gathering with their peers at Accelerate to discuss what’s working and how to transform the way they use technology to their advantage.” Caesars Entertainment Las Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment (www.caesars.com) is the world’s most diversified casino-entertainment provider and the most geographically diverse U.S. casino-entertainment company. “Great sales leaders become great by learning from their peers and journeying in the direction of the latest trends and technology,” said Brandi Ellis, Senior Vice President, VIP Marketing, Caesars Entertainment. “The sales world we live in is constantly changing, and we come to Accelerate to stay ahead of those changes by connecting with the right people, the best practices and the latest tools needed to win.” West Corporation Omaha, Neb.-based West Corporation (www.west.com) is a global leader in technology-enabled communication services that connect people and businesses around the world, helping its clients more effectively communicate, collaborate and connect with their audiences through a diverse portfolio of innovative solutions. “We’re all extremely busy people, so there must be the promise of real value to justify stepping away from our daily duties—both personal and professional—for another conference,” said Kelly Mark, AVP of Sales, West Corporation. “Accelerate offers that value by letting me share what’s working, and what isn’t, in the ever-evolving world of sales—together with my counterparts from some of the world’s most successful and innovative companies.” Korn Ferry Hay Group Korn Ferry Hay Group (www.kornferry.com/haygroup/) is part of Philadelphia-based Korn Ferry, a global organizational consulting firm that helps companies design their organization – the structure, the roles and responsibilities, as well as how they compensate, develop and motivate their people. “Every top sales executive is looking for opportunities to collaborate and learn from other top sales executives, and not to be crammed with thousands of other conference-goers,” said Matt Dixon, Global Head of Sales Force Effectiveness Solutions at Korn Ferry Hay Group. “That’s how you get a true exchange of ideas—and reach the highest levels of success as a business. That’s why we are such big advocates of Accelerate and look forward to learning from the sales industry’s top players.” To learn more about Accelerate—and see if you qualify to attend, visit the Accelerate website.
