About the Widen Summit

Has it been 10 years already?! We can’t wait to come together this October for our 10th annual Widen Summit^®.

The Summit is the yearly event where Widen customers gather to learn, network, and grow their Widen Collective^® skills. It’s packed with actionable content and rewarding connections that will give you the knowledge and confidence to fuel digital asset management (DAM) and product information management (PIM) success in your organization.

This year we’re bringing you two great days of keynotes, breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, and customer speakers. This engaging and immersive program will provide insights and knowledge from Widen experts while connecting you with other Collective users.

Don’t miss out! Come celebrate 10 years of DAM with us and explore new ways to power and grow your Widen Collective strategy.

Frequently asked questions

Who attends the Summit?

The Summit is for all Widen customers, whether you’re brand new or have years of experience. With a mix of Widen keynotes, customer-led breakouts, and networking sessions, you'll find new ways to develop your DAM and PIM involvement no matter your role or experience level. Past attendees include digital asset managers, librarians, marketing managers, product marketers, graphic designers, content strategists, marketing technologists, and more.

Why should I attend the Summit?

The Summit offers a collaborative virtual environment for you to explore new ideas, hear details about new product updates, and form connections with other customers and Widen staff. With actionable, inspiring content, this unique conference is the only time during the year where you'll have the opportunity to meet and learn from hundreds of other Widen Collective admins and users in one virtual setting.

How much does the virtual Widen Summit cost?

We’re offering two pass types for this year’s Summit:

Starter pass

Our starter pass is free and includes entry to all keynote sessions as well as limited networking opportunities. It does not include access to breakout sessions, roundtables, or entertainment. This pass is a great fit for anyone looking to skim the surface of the full virtual Widen Summit experience.

All-access pass

The all-access pass is our most popular option. In addition to the starter pass benefits, it adds access to all breakout sessions, networking, roundtables, entertainment, and the ability to watch all content on-demand after the event.

Pricing for all-access passes will increase throughout the year, so we recommend buying your pass as early as possible.

Super early bird: $59
Ends Friday, August 20

Early bird: $79
Ends Friday, September 17

Regular: $99
Begins Saturday, September 18

What is the refund and substitution policy?

You may transfer your registration to another person in your organization at any time by emailing summit@widen.com. There is no fee for transfers. If you are unable to attend or arrange for a substitute, you may cancel and obtain a full refund by notifying summit@widen.com by Thursday, September 30. Cancellations after Thursday, September 30 and no-shows are non-refundable. See our terms and conditions for full details.

How do I log in to the virtual event?

You will receive an email a few days prior to the event with login instructions and details on how to use the platform.

Will I have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a Widen expert?

While we don’t have time set aside specifically for one-on-one meetings with Widen experts, there are still plenty of ways to connect with us during and after the Summit. Widen staff from Customer Success, Support, Product, Development, and more will be available via chat throughout the Summit, and are more than happy to schedule a one-on-one meeting with you after the event.

Will all of the sessions be recorded and accessible later on?

All sessions will be recorded and available to watch on-demand after the Summit concludes. The only way to gain access to the recordings is to purchase an all-access pass for the event.

I still have questions. Whom should I contact?

Email us at summit@widen.com.

Feedback from past attendees:

My favorite things about the Summit are learning how everyone uses their DAM in different ways and listening to other people talk passionately about their DAM.

The presenters are experienced and engaging, the information is relevant and applicable, and the networking inspires us all to do better. Thank you for all the work to provide a top-rate experience for your customers.

I enjoyed the setup and organization of the Summit. I learned an enormous amount of information that was extremely helpful in strengthening our Widen Collective.
