Description
Come celebrate International CX Day with your fellow Toronto/GTA CX professionals! We're meeting up on October 1st for an afternoon of inspiration and practical learning with Bruce Temkin and Marilyn Barefoot (plus networking and cocktails!).

Keynote Presentation: Making Customer Experience More Human-Centric (Bruce Temkin, CCXP)

We always talk about customer experience as if its a given that we are focusing on the needs of people. But companies often fall into the trap of jumping heads-first into data or technology projects, leaving human beings as an afterthought. During this interactive session, we’ll examine how experiences affect human beings and discuss recent research by the XM Institute on the state of CX management. Collectively, we’ll identify ways to make the industry's CX efforts more human-centric.

Workshop: Learn How to Implement Bruce's Ideas in Your Organization (Marilyn Barefoot)

Marilyn returns to lead an interactive workshop where attendees will collaborate on solving actual CX-related problems.   As those of you who've learned from Marilyn before know, you will return to the office with at least one new implementable idea!
