Amsterdam buzzed with energy as Workday Rising EMEA 2024 took centre stage, uniting a vibrant community of customers, partners, and tech leaders from across the globe. The event gathered a global community, igniting a collaborative atmosphere with innovative and transformative ideas.
This year’s event was particularly special, given the last-minute challenges we faced, including an unforeseen scheduling conflict and tight setup timelines. But our team rallied together, and the vibrant environment in Amsterdam proved that all the hard work had paid off. As we look ahead to Workday Rising 2025 in Barcelona, there’s much to reflect on and even more to look forward to.
The Start: Setting the Stage for Innovation
Our journey began with a shared excitement at the RAI Amsterdam venue. The first day set the tone for the event, fast-paced and full of promise. The booth was ready, presentations were polished, and despite the hurdles we overcame, the energy in Amsterdam was unmatched. We had just wrapped up a workshop in London, where we had received fantastic feedback, and that momentum carried us into the event.
The conversations on reporting, analytics, and planning were the highlights of the first day, where we showcased how our solutions are helping organisations maximise the potential of Workday’s technology. The welcome keynote delivered a clear vision of Workday’s future, amplifying the excitement as we were already seeing a convergence of innovation and collaboration on the ground.
Customer and Partner Interactions: Strengthening Connections
As the event progressed, the interactions with customers, partners, and prospects became a testament to the quality of engagement at our booth. Our booth was humming with activity, with visitors who were not only intrigued by our new Reports, Planning, and Analytics services but also actively seeking ways to transform their organisations by enhancing Workday or their team’s talent. This year, we noticed a notable shift, with more focused leads and prospects having clearer goals in mind. The demand for reporting services reached an all-time high.
Team feedback echoed a sense of achievement, as we found ourselves surrounded by meaningful conversations, exchanging ideas, and discovering new ways to collaborate. This year’s event proved to be a wonderful opportunity for strengthening relationships and building new partnerships.
Celebrating Success and Shaping the Future
Day three brought the event to a spectacular close. The atmosphere was electric, as we gathered for the closure keynote, which highlighted the transformation of business processes through Workday’s innovations. Later, the night party with Mark Ronson added the perfect touch of fun, allowing us to relax, reconnect, and celebrate our successes. The team had a blast, engaging in casual conversations with customers and prospects on the dance floor, further strengthening the relationships built during the event.
Reflecting on the experience, it was clear that Workday Rising EMEA 2024 was more than just an event; it was an opportunity to engage, learn, and forge lasting partnerships. Our booth was a success, and the feedback we received confirmed that we’re on the right track for future collaborations.
Key highlights included:
- Reimagining UX with Generative AI: Simplifying work processes in powerful, intuitive ways.
- Transforming Traditional Processes: Accelerating workflows with Workday Illuminate to deliver exponential value.
- Driving Innovation Together: Harnessing the Workday platform with customers and partners to tackle unique challenges.
As Coreteam reflected on the event, the feedback was unanimous: the blend of insightful sessions, engaging conversations, and collaborative spirit made Workday Rising EMEA an unforgettable experience. Despite the chilly Amsterdam weather, the warmth of the Workday community shone through, leaving everyone excited for what’s next.
