Since its inception in 2013, SampleCon has experienced exponential growth and the unique ability to attract industry players from organizations across all facets of the sample space. In 2015, leadership partnered with industry bodies to drive the conversation forward on the establishment of common protocols and definitions. SampleCon remains focused on providing a collaborative environment to share perspectives on industry issues, challenges, trends and most importantly, successes at a global level.





Getting It Done

The process for launching the Road To SampleCon voice experience was three steps:

- Writing the copy & questions
- Voice Ambassadors™ recording the messaging
- Setup & Launch of voice experience

The entire experience was made up of a Welcome Message, 3 questions, a Thank You message and Help messaging for whenever a participant asked for Help.

The entire process from idea to launch took about 4 days including the custom recordings by a professional Voice Ambassador™ and the approval process.

In order to maximize the accessibility of the voice experience, Road To SampleCon was launched to both voice assistants and as a Telephone Voice application.
