CDM Media Customer Experience Summit
March 16-18, 2014
Venue TBA, Chicago IL
Keynote: Loyalty is Dead. Long Live Customer Engagement
CDM Media’s Customer Experience Summit brings together C-suite executives from across the enterprise to discuss the leading technologies that will shape the future of the industry in an intimate environment, away from commercially driven trade shows and conferences.
Customer engagement is the next evolutionary step beyond customer loyalty.
Defined as "the sum of activities that build positive connections between a company and its customers and result in greater involvement that positively impacts revenue" it is clear that engagement is more tangible - and therefore much easier to foster, to promote and most especially, to measure - than customer loyalty, leaving no doubt about its value or its ROI.
In this keynote, I'll provide examples of customer engagement programs and activities you can begin implementing as soon as you return to the office. As well, we'll work together to define how customer engagement can be deployed specifically within your company.

Keynote – When Matter and Anti-matter Collide: Colossal Failures and Powerful Successes in Engaging Employees and Making Customers Matter
You can't have delighted customers with disgruntled employees. Just like matter and anti-matter, they cannot coexist. The business press is alive with the cataclysmic explosions that result when disgruntled employees destroy customer loyalty. Gallup estimates actively disengaged employees cost businesses more than $370B annually. In order to have loyal customers who buy and spend more you must start with the employees. This presentation describes how you can make customers matter and engage employees in the business of customer centricity.

Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa, Las Vegas NV
Curtis's Workshop: Storming the Executive Ranks: Practical Strategies to Enhance Authority and Tools to Create Priority for Customer Experience Initiatives
Authority is the currency of the C-Suite. Most loyalty or experience executives are challenged to obtain the authority needed to influence the organization to take action to better serve customers. You must lead by influence to effectively resolve customer issues and enhance the end-to-end customer experience.
There are three types of authority: borrowed, positional and earned. How do you leverage borrowed authority to the fullest while earning your own authority that eclipses all other?
