Why people attend Empower
Connection
Meet builders who are past the early wins and into the real work of growth: scaling systems across teams, tools, and use cases, and sharing what’s changed, what’s working, and what they’re building next.
Belonging
You're not the only one carrying these questions—and you don’t have to figure them out alone. Empower brings together a community of builders who speak the same language and understand the stakes to navigate the next phase together.
Clarity
Cut through the noise around AI, growth, and what’s next and focus on what actually matters. Hear perspectives from product leaders, customers, and experts to help you decide what to evolve, extend, or rethink with confidence.
What you can expect
Sessions & perspectives
Keynotes, product spotlights, and practical sessions led by Quickbase leaders, customers, and industry experts.
Together, they explore where work is headed, and how teams are building on what already works.
Stories from the Field
Real examples from real teams.
What unlocked progress. What made adoption stick. What changed when systems needed to scale.
Community & shared experience
Some of the most valuable moments at Empower happen between sessions.
Compare notes, trade insights, and form relationships that keep paying off long after the event ends.
Time to step back
Empower creates rare space to zoom out.
Away from constant demands, you’ll have time to connect ideas, reflect, and think clearly about what matters most—and what comes next.
