Past event: Call Center Week Conference & Expo

INSPIRATIONAL. EDUCATIONAL. COMMUNITY-ORIENTED. AND UNFORGETTABLE! Strengthen Your Foundation for Future Transformation

Why Call Center Week?

The magic of CCW is the combination of Conference Expo. The robust conference inspires your next steps and the expo moves you from inspiration to actualization. Be part of the community that comes together each year for a week full of learning, networking, and some fun!
  • INSPIRATIONAL - CCW is where the customer care community comes together for all things customer service. Be inspired by guest speakers, keynote sessions, new technologies and a variety of learning formats to imagine a new future. You'll be inspired and refreshed to take on what's next.
  • EDUCATIONAL - Workshops, keynote sessions, site tours, lunch n learns, meet-ups provide you with the tools and insight needed to super-charge your CX operation. You'll leave Vegas with what you need and ready to implement on Monday. Now that’s a conference worth the value!
  • COMMUNITY-ORIENTED - CCW FOMO is real. Not just about the conference sessions but connecting with the rest of your community. Each year, the CCW event series welcomes customer care leaders to spend an entire week to network, learn, and have some fun.
