FAQs

Earlier this year, we postponed X4 to ensure the safety and wellbeing of attendees, our partner ecosystem and all employees. As we’ve continued to monitor the ongoing developments of COVID-19, we have determined that in order to provide the best experience possible for attendees, we will NOT host X4 in 2020.

  However, X4 WILL BE BACK BETTER THAN EVER next year. We can’t wait to host you again in Salt Lake City in Fall 2021. We are still confirming exact dates and speakers and should have more information to share in the beginning of 2021.

We received overwhelming feedback from many attendees requesting to continue to hold X4 as a live event, rather than converting it to a digital event. Since hosting any live event in 2020 is problematic due to COVID-19, we’ve decided to host X4 as a live event next year.   Even though we won’t be running X4 this year, we’re excited to share the innovation that has happened in XM over the past year––from new products and use cases to new innovative ways customers are leveraging XM to drive change and improvements. To celebrate the ways customers are using Qualtrics to change the way they work, we’re launching a new digital event series on WorkDifferent.com that highlights the innovative ways the world’s best brands are choosing to change the game and work different––those choosing to go beyond surviving and instead bouncing back with solidarity and commitment to a better future. Join us on August 12 as we rewrite the playbook for how brands interact with their customers and employees. Register for WorkDifferent today.

Public transportation to and from the Salt Lake City International Airport is available through the Utah Transit Authority. You can also use the new “Green Line” on TRAX (Salt Lake City’s light rail system) that runs to and from the airport. The Green Line leaves the airport every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes on weekends. The TRAX stop is located at the south end of Terminal 1. TRAX drops off directly in front of the Salt Palace Convention Center. Taxi cabs are also available at the airport when you arrive. Uber and Lyft also serve the airport and all of Salt Lake City. All our preferred hotels are a 10-15 minute drive from the airport and the one-way cab fare will be approximately $22-$25 USD. At the airport, you can find shuttles at the All Resort (Premier) kiosk located across from baggage claim 4 in Terminal 1 and baggage claim 8 in Terminal 2. You may visit the website for rates and reservations: http://www.premier-transportation.com/ Depending on your hotel, complimentary shuttles may also be offered from the Salt Lake City International Airport. This can be confirmed by calling your hotel directly.

Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately we are no longer accepting speaker applications for X4 2020.

As the leader in Experience Management, we’re hyper-dedicated to making every interaction with Qualtrics a great experience. X4 attendance has grown and is projected to grow substantially every year. We’re proud of how successful Experience Day has been in the past, but realize that with so many people participating in something that has so many variables outside our control (weather, resort availability, traffic, etc) that we can no longer guarantee a great experience for every attendee. Although we have decided to shift those resources to other experiences at the event, we are also mindful that skiing and snowboarding is a big draw for Salt Lake, so we will be providing recommendations and information to any attendees interested in hitting the slopes.
