If you want to learn how technology is fundamentally changing the way your customers and business relate, you must not miss this!
ExCom 2016 explores technology and how it affects the relationship between businesses and their customers in a one day event packed with experts. The conference happens March 17, 2016 on the campus of Georgia State University in Atlanta. The event is free with breakfast and lunch provided on a first-come first-serve basis.
ExCom 2016 will examine how technology and changing expectations must fundamentally affect your small business — and what you can do about it. The conference includes numerous sessions led by respected thought leaders in customer relations management (CRM), customer experience and ecommerce. Sponsor support has made possible the free admission for the event. But those interested in attending must register no later than Wednesday, March 16.
Registered guests who attend qualify for a chance to win a ticket to a VIP suite at the Atlanta Hawks/Denver Nuggets game, which takes place after the conference at the Philips Arena. There are other giveaway items such as an Amazon Echo.
Here’s a breakdown of a few of the sessions:
