BDX Hosts Successful Digital Transformation Summit For Home Building Industry Professionals
Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 21, 2016 -- Builders Digital Experience (BDX), leading provider of digital marketing and sales solutions for home builders, reinvigorated their event series and hosted the first digital transformation summit for home builders in Austin April 6-8th. The event brought together over 250 attendees, 17 sponsor companies, and 14 dynamic speakers.
“Our goal with this Summit was to create an event experience for our home builders to explore today’s new consumers and their digital expectations,” said Tim Costello, CEO of BDX. “We wanted to bring in fresh ideas and showcase how other industries have tapped into digital strategies to completely transform the customer experience.”
Costello kicked off the event with a keynote presentation that walked attendees through some key points in technology history and highlighted “10 behaviors of the intentional technology strategist.” This set the stage for inspiring presentations from leading strategic futurists, digital marketing experts, and customer experience leaders.
“The BDX Summit was the perfect opportunity to get outside of my office walls and kickstart some innovative thinking,” said Rob Krohn, Epcon Communities Franchising. “I was so glad I could participate, it was like 2 days of Ted Talks for the home building industry.”
Speakers who contributed to the Summit included:
• Joe Quitoni, Corporate Director, Culture Transformation, Ritz-Carlton
• Sridhar Sudarsan, CTO, IBM Watson
• Neff Hudson, VP, Emerging Channels, USAA
• Nancy Giordano, Strategic Futurist, Play Big, Inc.

“The BDX Summit was very worthwhile, I would definitely attend again and recommend it to my peers,” said Lyda Akin, vice president of marketing from David Weekley Homes. “The lineup was very thoughtful and well planned – I loved learning from so many speakers outside of our industry.”
