On May 18th, LivePerson hosted its biggest event, with over 200 attendees, bringing together developers, ISV's and entrepreneurs, to explore a topic that is considered the "Holy Grail" for entrepreneurs and start-ups in Israel: "How an Israeli-based SaaS company can develop in Israel and succeed in the US market."

The event was hosted on the floor above the LivePerson office -- an open, expansive, and untouched space, perfect for staging a creative and collaborative event where people can learn, network, and connect.

Here are a few highlights from the event:

Many of our top partners presented their innovative products, demonstrating how they were leveraging the power and platform of LivePerson. Robert LoCascio, LivePerson's CEO and Founder, also shared an inspiring talk about his journey to success-- he went from sleeping on the couch, to building a company generating $100M in revenue.

Mark Trang, VP Platform Technologies & Ecosystem then presented the LivePerson Platform and the LivePerson Developer Community as a gateway for developers to innovate applications that would broaden the horizon of applicable use cases for LivePerson chat, and monetizing through LivePerson's global customer base.

Asaf Shtekler, VP, Business Development at Tracx gave a very insightful presentation of the unique integration they have done with their social media technology and LivePerson's intelligent engagement.

Ori Lahav Co-Founder & CTO of Outbrain gave an inspiring presentation on how to make your first $1M, and Eran Liron, EVP Business Development at Nice followed-up the presentation on "how to sustain your $1M and reach $100M."

The event was a huge success, with all of the interesting and inspiring presentations from industry thought leaders. But most exciting of all was the energy brought by the over 200 people in attendance.
