The teams moving fastest have already rewritten their hiring profiles, restructured their teams, and started building toward a new kind of practitioner: the Success Engineer.\n\nPart technical expert, part adoption architect, the Success Engineer builds alongside customers, rather than just advising.\n\nIn this live session, **Kelsey Bennett** , Strategic CSM at **Gainsight** , joins us to get practical about what this shift looks like in real organizations today: what capabilities matter, what to hire for, and how CS leaders can get ahead of the role evolution before it creates gaps they can't close.\n\n* * *\n\n## You’ll leave this session with:\n\n  * A grounded view of what a Success Engineer capabilities look like in real CS teams, today, not in theory\n  * A view of how AI-powered workflows (success plans, intelligent signals, and agentic handoffs) change what you need from the humans running them\n  * Criteria for your next hire and development plan for the team you already have\n  * A leadership framework for staying ahead of the role before it creates gaps in your org\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n## Speakers\n\n**Kelsey Bennett\nCSM at Gainsight**\n\nKelsey’s career spans CSM and enterprise support at companies like SalesLoft, Docusign, and LinkedIn. She brings deep expertise in customer retention, adoption, and go-to-market strategy built from the ground up across enterprise and mid-market teams.\n\n* * *\n\n## Save your space",
