Hi, I’m Joe Dan!

Hello! I’m Joe Dan Dockrey, Vice President of Customer and Partner Experience (CPX) in EMEA. I began my Workiva journey in the US, and today, almost 6 years later, I am now based in London where I have the privilege to oversee all of our customer success and partner experience teams in the EMEA region. One of the things I am most passionate about my work is continually evolving ways for CPX to create valuable experiences for our customers and partners, being obsessively focused on building long-lasting, trusting relationships.

One quick fun fact about me is that I recently renewed a passport after having filled it completely in just 2 years! I definitely have the travel bug and love visiting with customers and partners across EMEA, so it’s a great combination.

So what brings me here today? I’d like to talk about an exciting event you won’t want to miss - Amplify!

Why Should You Attend? 

Amplify ranks among my favorite events. While Workiva wants you to attend, of course, there are countless reasons why it’s a must. Let’s dive into just a few of the many reasons why.

The Value 🙌

Amplify is all about bringing value to YOU! 

As an attendee, you will be in a room full of leaders and companies with over 20 focused sessions to choose from. You will also get to learn from the best, as there are multiple specialized speakers sharing their industry expertise. More notably, this year, attendees will hear from Dean Forbes, CEO of Forterro and the most influential Black British Person in the UK Powerlist.

Between breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, and interactive workshops, there is no shortage of opportunities to explore new, innovative and transformative approaches to achieve assured integrated reporting.

In short, Amplify is your ticket to gaining essential insights, practical tools, and key resources to help you propel your career forward. 

The People 🤝

In my opinion, one of the best things about Amplify is making new connections. We live in a world where we can make virtual connections anytime and anywhere, but Amplify allows you to engage in face-to-face discussions to build lasting strategies that solve common challenges together. 

So who exactly will be there? There will be hundreds of your peers that you will have a chance to connect with. In fact, we have specific networking events just for you!

Of course, we will have Workiva representation as well. Many of our customer-facing teams will be in attendance, such as CSMs, PSMs, and Sales, and are eager to strengthen the relationships we have with you all. So, if you see us, don’t hesitate to come chat.

Amplify is truly a great place to build your network and meet fellow Workiva enthusiasts. It’s the perfect time to reunite with familiar faces and introduce yourself to new ones, including our leaders from CPX!

What You’ll Learn and See 🧠

Where do I even start?!  You’ll be one of the first to see our latest releases and developments within the Workiva platform and get insight to how these updates and features will support your most important work. 

Plus, we’ll have a variety of focused sessions to dive into the newest innovations. These sessions cover topics including GenAI, how regulations are evolving, and risk mitigation. Exciting, right?

If you’ve got any burning questions you can’t wait to ask, you’re in luck. We have several experts, partners, and industry leaders who will be there to offer you solutions and tips in person. 

And don’t forget, CPE credit is available too.

All in all, get ready to see how Workiva will provide you tangible value by driving growth within our platform capabilities.  This is going to be our best Amplify yet!

New Dates and Location 💃🏻

If you’ve been to prior Amplify events, you might recall they were typically in the fall. In fact, some of you might have joined us just last October in Amsterdam. This year we’re switching things up and hosting Amplify in  late spring  for a more convenient time, and heading someplace warmer—Spain!

That’s right! Join us this May for a fiesta at the thrilling International Barcelona Convention Centre where there will be plenty of conversation, CPE, and of course, sangria.

We can’t wait to host this unforgettable experience with you all!
