2008 Call Center Conference
October 19-22, 2008
Monte Carlo Resort and Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada

Call Center to Contact Centers - the new age!  As call centers move toward the one stop contact for our members, we move into a world of telecommuting agents and online banking with live chat features and more.  This year hear Larry Johnson’s keynote “Destroy the Status-Quo - How to lead change in a changing world” and Ann Gray as she delves into “Managing Virtual Employees.” 

It is clear that your agents contribute to the bottom line and Tracy Blakely will help you with your “Strategic Planning for the Call Center Executive: Training the Critical Ingredient” and about “Turning your Service Call Center into a Profit Center” with Linda Cardenas and Jim Vitali.  All of this requires hiring the right people and Larry Johnson will share tools for “Interviewing, selecting, and retaining good people”.  Ann Gray will bring you “Cultivating Employee Engagement” and Linda Tangen will provide “Service to Sales”.  Next, you need to measure your success.  Learn how Metrics Matter as Darryl Flores presents unique and innovative metrics that can be implemented in your call center.

The lending arena is seeing change as well, hear about “Lending in your Call Center – How it makes a difference in a sub prime economy”.  As credit unions take their call centers to the next level they need to be prepared should disaster strike.  One of today’s hot topics is disaster recovery and Kirk Drake will share “Disaster Recovery to Business Continuity!”

As certifications make a presence in the call center arena we are bringing you the person who wrote the book, literally!  Come and hear author Penny Reynold’s “Introduction to Call Center Technology: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding Call Center Technologies”. This session is part of a series of certification courses! 

Beginning in 2009 look forward to quarterly webinar opportunities to keep you informed about industry hot topics.  So don’t miss out!  Come and network with your peers and learn about their best practices at our networking breakfasts, lunch, and hospitality room.  Attend the Vendor Demo Dinner and plan to discuss “hot topics” with call centers in your asset size at our roundtable sessions.  This year’s conference is filled with opportunity and promises to be exciting! 

We look forward to seeing you at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino located on the famous Las Vegas Strip!  October is one of the nicest months to visit Las Vegas so come prepared for mild to warm weather during the day and cooler evenings.  Be sure to bring a sweater or jacket for unexpected weather patterns.  Business casual is the attire for this conference, but always be prepared for temperature fluctuations in the meeting rooms.  Take advantage of the early bird registration fee (see registration form for details) and sign up today!

Attendees should include: CEO, VP of Call Center, VP of Operations, Call Center Managers and Call Center Representatives from all departments.
