This October, FullStory is hosting Spark, the first Digital Experience Intelligence conference in Atlanta. Spark is a meeting ground for industry-leading product managers, developers, UX designers, data scientists, and anyone focused on building better digital customer experiences. 

Spark attendees will have access to an exciting lineup of sessions including user panels, keynote speakers, networking events, and more. In addition to sessions on DX strategies and high-level best practices, Spark will feature several FullStory-led workshops where you can ask questions, see examples, and get inside tips on maximizing specific features in the FullStory platform. 

Let’s take a closer look at four practical sessions where Spark attendees can learn about using FullStory from the folks who built it.

1. Combining Segments with Funnels and Metrics

FullStory is like a toolbox. Inside are versatile tools like Segments, Metrics, Funnels, and so much more. Each is functional and powerful on its own, but their force is multiplied when they’re used together. For example, layering key user segments onto funnels or filtering by success metrics can grant you a much deeper understanding of users than looking at each datapoint individually. Learning to use these tools in tandem brings you valuable insights on your most important user groups—empowering you to make DX improvements. 

This session will teach you to understand a framework for building meaningful Segments, and walk through how to test and analyze user behavior for optimization use cases.

2. Getting started with Data Layer Capture

In a nutshell,Data Layer Capture (DLC) gives you the ability to track custom events and user variables across your organization’s website. This might sound like an intimidating topic—one that would be a years-long undertaking for your organization. But with FullStory, integrating DLC into your day-to-day is as simple as flipping a virtual switch. In this session, you’ll learn about general data layer concepts, hear best practices for Data Layer Capture configuration, and get expert tips from FullStory’s consulting pros on getting DLC set up for success for your organization.

3. Deep dive: Fine-tuning Watched Elements

Watched Elements are one of the most powerful features of FullStory, but many organizations leave a lot on the table when it comes to its capabilities. By dialing in high-value opportunities in Conversions and keeping tabs on the highest-value elements on your site, teams can become more precise and discrete about eliminating loading spinners, error classes, network errors, and other rage-inducing roadblocks.

Session attendees will uncover best practices for Watched Elements, and find out how to correlate Dashboards and Conversions with Watched Elements to maximize growth.
