PEER EXCHANGE AND GROUP BRAINSTORMING
Campfire Story-Telling. S’mores, Anyone?
(Tuesday, June 10th, 4:00)
Break into roundtable ‘campfire’ discussions to share your most challenging, or most rewarding, customer care initiatives and stories. No powerpoint or set speakers. Just ideas from you and your colleagues who face your similar challenges.
Group Think, Brainstorm, & Goal Set!
(Tuesday-Wednesday, during each breakout session)
With so much great information presented in each powerpoint break-out session, you need dedicated time to sit back, process what you’ve learned, and make an action plan. At the end of each session, we’ve dedicated 15 minutes for ‘Group Think’. Brainstorm with your fellow colleagues on what you’ve just heard and how you can translate ideas into action.
Speaker One-on-Ones

Sign up for 1-on-1 Chats with Industry Thought Leaders & Corporate Leaders! This is your chance to schedule some 1-on-1 time to discuss any questions, issues or customer care visions you’re looking to implement. Once on-site, the participating leaders will be announced and sign up sheets will be available.
