Howdy,
welcome to Austin

Getting around & planning ahead.

Austin isn't that big — you'll get most places in 20–30 min (outside rush hour).

Heads up: don't rely on public transit. Scooters and pedicabs help in a few spots, but walking and Lyft are your best bets.

Folks love XDay, and they keep telling us about it. Every quote here came straight from our feedback polls — scroll on through and see what past attendees thought.

Key leaders from AI and CX spaces were there, generating truly valuable conversations and sessions. The folks from QuestionPro were enjoyable, collaborative, and authentic. Easy to participate in the intimate format. I had more quality conversations in this 1-day event than I sometimes have at 2 or 3-day ones. Not sure I've attended a better conference.
2024
I love the passion displayed by all QuestionPro team members!
2024
XDay 2024 was amazing. Eye-opening — unpredictable and insightful to a great degree. Met several industry leaders, learned a lot about CX practices. As a UX specialist, I walked away with a clear vision, new tools to experiment with and lots of human connections.
2024
Finally, a conference that gets it — from the moment you step into the X Day world, it's about positive experiences and connections, not just a smokescreen on selling you products while you're held captive.
2024
XDay was a great networking event as well as info sharing on what's new in research, what consumers care about and fear with a focus on AI.
2024
I'm so glad I prioritized taking time out of my busy schedule to join. Felt crafted to add real value — not a full day infomercial. Connected with other CX leaders, heard great minds on leadership and CX, and dove deeper in breakout sessions.
2023
If you're looking for a place to dig deeper into the power of listening to people while connecting with folks who care about humanizing data — XDay is the event for you.
2023
XDay is a great experience no matter your profession. It provides insight on unique techniques you can apply at work and in life.

Interesting, fun and useful. Most conferences these days are nothing but marketing. I really appreciated this professional development opportunity.
2022
Brand Density, NPS & CX as economic goals, what success hinges on — executive action, employee engagement, execution. So informative.
2019
Fascinated by the use of AI and NLP to manipulate unstructured customer and business interactions for valuable decision-making.

The CEO of QuestionPro made himself available to meet any customer there. Great feeling about the organization.
