Subscribed is the World’s Premiere Conference for Leaders of the Subscription Economy 

San Mateo, Calif. – May 13, 2019 – Zuora, Inc. (NYSE: ZUO), the leading cloud-based subscription management platform provider, today announced its Subscribed™ event, held in San Francisco on June 4-5, 2019 at the Marriott Marquis, for companies striving to succeed amidst the most disruptive business-model shift in a century. This year’s event will give attendees a unique experience with exclusive access to executives from WeWork, Pandora, Fender and Unity Technologies.

For the last decade, the Zuora® brand has become synonymous with the Subscription Economy®. And at the heart of this transformational business model shift to subscriptions lies the Subscribed community, comprised of a global group of companies formed by visionaries that see the massive shift disrupting nearly every industry in the world and want to share and learn from others.

“The Subscription Economy is driving the most disruptive business model transformation of our time which is leading to an end of ownership and the rise of usership,” said Tien Tzuo, CEO and Founder of Zuora. “And just when you thought things couldn’t change anymore, it’s time to think again. This year, we’ll look toward the future of the Subscription Economy and the massive growth opportunity it provides companies across all industries.

According to the Subscription Economy Index™ (SEI), Zuora’s proprietary index tracking the growth of the Subscription Economy, subscription revenue growth rates have continued to accelerate every year since 2012. Those looking to capitalize on this trend, and to learn how to develop and nurture lasting customer relationships, will convene at the Subscribed conference.

Attendees will hear from featured keynote speakers such as Julie Rice, Co-founder of SoulCycle and Chief Brand Officer of WeWork – with Andrew Nusca, Editor of Fortune Magazine – and Tim Westergren, Founder of Pandora and Co-creator of the Music Genome Project.

Subscribed will also feature main stage discussions and break out sessions led by visionaries, disruptors and industry leaders representing every type of enterprise, from native subscription businesses to iconic Fortune 500 companies that are successfully embracing the shift to a subscription business model.
