Past event: Call Center Week Conference

Inspirational, Educational, Community-Oriented - From Personalizing to Predicting the Needs of the Customer

What sets CCW apart from the rest?

  • Serving your industry is our DAY JOB... From community building on Call Center IQ to planning and executing exhilarating events.
  • CCW is VENDOR AGNOSTIC... We have no allegiances towards one solution or another.
  • CCW respects your wishes... You asked for no more vendor-led case studies or general sessions.. you got it!
  • CCW is INCLUSIVE... From Fortune 500 to small, medium and large companies across every industry at every level of maturity.
  • CCW is the SUM of all its parts... From inspiring keynotes to small like-minded meet ups to new solutions in the expo hall. It's a brilliant recipe combining education + expo.

Today customers expect service on their own terms - whenever they need, in whatever digital channel they want. When these needs are not met, there can be increasing customer churn, escalating operating costs and decreasing shareholder value.

Yet when the customer experience is effectively delivered through the contact center, benefits can include higher customer and employee satisfaction, increased revenue and efficient operating cost structures. This growing expectation profoundly changes the role of customer service and the responsibility you have in leading your organization's success.
