*Former first lady Michelle Obama and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres will be headlining tech company Qualtrics’ annual user conference in March. 

According to the website, the annual event is “where the visionaries and leaders behind the world’s most iconic organizations come together to tell the stories behind their breakthrough customer, employee, product, and brand experiences.”
