The 14th Annual Call Center Week

Call Center Week, proclaimed as the “most comprehensive call center event in the world,” will soon be here: June 10–14, 2013, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. Last year’s event was the largest in its history, with 1,200 attendees. For those not familiar with Call Center Week, this year is an ideal time to check it out (www.callcenterweek.com).

There will be multiple keynote speakers, as well as many tracks and workshops to choose from, as well as two master classes and two site tours. In addition, there will be hours of networking opportunities and an extensive exhibit hall, with sixty-four sponsors and vendors already confirmed.

Past attendees were enthusiastic about the event. “The sessions were great,” said Lisa Jones of Sun Life Financial. “I learned a great deal that my company can use.”

Lisa Timmerman from Bath & Body Works said, “We had a fantastic time and found so many great takeaways that will continue to help us motivate our team and grow our call center.”

“It was a great opportunity to be around such positively charged and righteously motivated individuals,” said Stuart Beame of Central Piedmont Community College.

“It is rare to find such a superb collection of knowledge and interactive call center attendees, wonderfully served by a diverse yet relevant set of speakers and topics,” added Darren M. Wells at Radiology Associates, LLP.
