Upcoming Event
Future of Customer Contact Conference
This conference couldn't be more well-timed as back-to-back crises from the pandemic and the cost of living continue to change customer contact, leaving a mixed picture between the need for both digital and human contact, as well as a lack of trust from customers.
- In-Person Conference
- The Brewery, London
- Thursday 8th February 2024



Let’s build better experiences for your customers
Extensive research demonstrates that those responsible for customer contact feel like there has been no time to catch up. Few organisations have a contact mix that generates the capacity to care for vulnerable customers while meeting the inevitable demands of recessionary cost cutting.
The very best organisations are persistent, willing to innovate and discover what works by 'doing'. They collaborate and are willing to learn from others.
There's no better way to shape your future plans than by attending the Future of Customer Contact Conference in February. We've spent a lot of time researching industry pain points, as well as which organisations are excelling, in order to craft a day filled with content that we know will help you thrive.

TOPIC STREAMS
Customer Contact Strategies
There is no silver bullet when it comes to customer contact strategies. Customers expect choice and back-to-back crises mean there is a heightened desire for human contact, as well as a lack of customer trust towards organisations.
A recent study by ContactBabel demonstrates that the majority of customers would prefer to speak to a person over using self-service, so those who've rushed into digital first strategies have experienced a negative impact on customer engagement.
This stream looks at when's best to offer self-service and how to balance your customer contact strategies across channels.
Customer Outcomes
We'll be looking at how organisations are overcoming operational challenges and implementing customer and employee engagement programmes that lead to a truly omni-channel experience for customers. Key factors in implementing new programmes include balancing self-service with customer demand for human contact, solutions to low customer trust in the value and ability of bots, how we recognise and respond to customer vulnerability and engaging customers in 3D worlds.
Customer Contact and Duty of Care - Responding to Vulnerability
Organisations have a responsibility to deliver appropriate customer service that responds flexibly to the needs of vulnerable customers. Join this stream to learn from organisations that are delivering a more inclusive customer service after putting systems and processes in place to enable vulnerable customers to disclose their needs.
Making Omnichannel Work
This topic stream will focus on how organisations can create a unified, streamlined customer experience across several platforms. Creating a truly omnichannel experience increases loyalty, decreases customer churn and increases customer lifetime value. A recent study even found that a customer who connects with an organisation through three or more channels is likely to have an average order value 13% higher than single-channel organisations.
Customer Retention - Why Are Customers Leaving Brands?
3 in 5 consumers say they've switched brands due to a negative contact centre experience, with 44% of consumers only giving an organisation two chances before they switch. It's therefore clear that organisations get one second chance - but not much more. Join this stream to discover how best to retain customers and build brand loyalty.
How Hybrid Working Creates Benefit and Challenge in Equal Measure
Although it is now safe to return to the office, many companies have kept remote work as an option for their workers. The analyst firm ContactBabel predicts that hybrid working will likely remain a dominant strategy for contact centres in 2023, with just 19% of agents predicted to work only at the contact centre next year. This stream provides some top tips on how to maximise the benefits and overcome the challenges that remote working can cause.
End-to-End Service Redesign
Your channel choice will actually add cost and effort to your organisation without end-to-end redesign, which is often why organisations don't harness the true advantages of customer contact transformation.
This stream will demonstrate why it's important to not act too early when creating an end-to-end customer journey.
The Customer’s Desire for Human Contact
As a result of the pandemic and recession, customers are seeking reassurance from assisted contact channels and leaning toward human contact as their preferred channel. This topic stream will allow you to navigate average vs. appropriate handling time as we support society through difficult times.
Keeping Pace - Is the Level of Change Needed Incremental or Disruptive?
This topic stream will look at how a revolution is taking place in customer service and experience. According to the CCA, the speed and severity of change over the last two years has resulted in many business models facing unprecedented disruption. We'll be looking at how you can best lead the charge on developing service, CX, digital and people without causing too much disruption to your organisation.
Strategy & Leadership
This topic stream will look at the key decisions customer contact leaders will be required to make as we approach a recession. This may include new emerging models, service capabilities and strategic service transformation.
What are the metrics that matter in a fast-changing world?
This stream looks at which measures we should be focusing on as the customer engagement landscape transforms in front of our eyes. Recent research has shown a decline in the usefulness of metrics such as customer effort score and customer retention rate. On the flip side, customer satisfaction score and quality score are being found increasingly useful.
Data Privacy - Trust vs. Personalisation
Customers want to understand where their data is being used and be given the ability to make decisions about what happens with their data. Join this stream and discover how to put your customers first in all data-driven processes.
Combining Organisational Values with Growing Customer Expectations
Research shows that a growing number of customers would stop buying from an organisation if they did not agree with their values. The connection between good corporate ethics and consumer perception is clear as corporate ESG (environment, social and governance) is increasingly in the headlines. Join this stream to learn how to future-proof your organisation through making the right decision for both the customer and the planet.
Changing Customer Behaviour and Agent Conversational Skills
In line with supporting customers through difficult times, conversations have become more complex as we see a rise in difficult and emotional calls. As well as this, consumers are more aware and better educated so are more likely to have difficult questions for agents to handle. This stream will look at how we can equip our agents with the tools they need to feel at ease when dealing with complex scenarios, as well as how we can protect the wellbeing of employees.
Contact Centre Insights - A Source of Innovation
Creating a two-way interaction between customer-facing and product teams allows organisations to become truly customer-centric through utilising customer insight to fuel the product innovations that customers really want. This stream will look at the benefits of customer-driven innovation.
Colleagues & Culture
As we look at the future of the workplace, we know that organisations need to incorporate the benefits of hybrid working into the heart of their workplace culture if they're to remain competitive when it comes to recruitment.
However, it's about more than that - research shows that agent stress directly impacts customer engagement, so organisations need to improve employee wellbeing, mental health and resilience in order to target the cause of negative consumer experiences.
Organisations also need to deal with recruitment and retention challenges - reports show that it's both increasingly hard to hire and retain employees, meaning that organisations are facing a talent shortage that's hard to replenish.
This stream will combat the issues organisations are currently facing when it comes to embedding a customer-centric culture into fragmented workplaces.
AI-Driven Self-Service
With customer expectations soaring, AI-driven self-service demonstrates its value at several points in the customer journey. It allows organisations to scale customer service operations to deal with demand, whilst also generating better customer outcomes over time. This stream will look at the best ways to integrate AI self-service into your customer journey.
Using Data & Insight
To retain customers, companies must make use of data and insight. Put differently, they should track customer behaviour and understand the needs of their target market. In this way, they will be able to respond to the fast-changing needs of customers, take their vulnerabilities into account, and drive innovation. February’s event will expand on this topic, with numerous speakers expected to reveal how they have used data and insight to improve CX.

The Digital Dilemma: Keeping That Personal Touch in a Digital World
The pandemic accelerated the shift towards a digital world, where we tend to be living and doing more and more online each day. But have we gone too far in embracing technology at the cost of human interaction and understanding behaviour? Are we trying too hard to push people to our new contact tool when they just want to use their channel of choice?
To kick things off, Andrew will outline how organisations need to meet their customers where they want to be met as well as addressing the challenges most brands are currently facing or eventually will face. He will look at how to balances the benefits of digital-driven efficiency with the crucial role of personal connection for ultimate effectiveness.

From Agent to Advocate: How to Support Your Frontline for Maximum Impact
What do you need to make your customer experience the best it’s ever been in 2023?
There are so many ways to answer this. It could be new tech. It could be upskilling. It could be
eradicating siloes between the contact centre and the rest of the business.
Regardless of the things you could do to achieve your customer experience goals, let’s start by
addressing the elephant in the room: merely sustaining a stable frontline operation is the
toughest it’s ever been for so many businesses.
In 2022, we witnessed a lot of disruption across industries, including high turnover rates. So, a
question on leaders’ lips right now is:
“What can I do to keep employees engaged?”
It’s a hard truth, but we need to be open and discuss possible answers. During this session, Dave will share insights and advice based on these questions:
- How can businesses restore morale and retain and empower their agents?
- What does creating a sustainable frontline operation look like?
- Which solutions can you rely on to improve the employee experience and keep customers
content?
- Are there contact centres we can look to for inspiration? How are they succeeding?
