As AI takes on more of the traditional work of customer support, finding meaningful ways to connect with customers is becoming even more important!

In this episode, we’re joined by Buzzsprout Content Marketing Specialist Megan Nelson to talk about how customer events can build community, strengthen brand loyalty, and create relationships that last long after the event ends.

We look back at how Buzzsprout’s podcaster meetups have evolved from casual drinks at a conference hotel to large events and why some of our simplest meetups have been just as valuable. We also share what we’ve learned from talking with customers face-to-face, how those conversations can uncover product feedback and education gaps, and how support and marketing teams can work together to create better customer experiences.

Plus, Megan shares practical advice for planning your first customer event without turning it into a massive production.
