Events: Future of the Contact Centre Conference
Virtual Future of the Contact Centre Conference
The Evolution of Customer Contact in a Rapidly Changing Consumer Environment
In times of unprecedented and fast-moving changes in our customers’ and our colleagues’ preferences, priorities and behaviours, contact centres are more than ever the beating heart of an organisation’s customer engagement strategy. Our CPD accredited virtual Future of the Contact Centre conference will bring into sharp focus these profound changes in the world of customer contact and highlight the evolving mix of technologies, processes and people in an uncertain business environment.
Our 2022 conference, presented live and exclusively from our own TV studio set-up, is designed to deliver to our delegates, through a mix of case studies, panel discussions and in-depth interviews with industry leaders, a raft of world-class content in a virtual environment – where they will be able to log off with all the tools, strategies and techniques they need to deliver successful contact centre strategies for the future.
Delivering great employee and customer experiences is recognised at the board level globally as one of the key business differentiators driving competitive advantage. The changing face of the contact centre is at the sharp end when it comes to linking the voice of our colleagues to the voice of our customers. We look forward to having you tune in for the seventh Future of the Contact Centre conference in 2022.
LIVE UPDATE: All of our 2022 events are currently planned as virtual, although we have placeholder dates with a number of our venue providers ready and waiting to welcome us back. When possible, we are excited to provide our ‘turnkey’ fully managed exhibition solution once again providing the physical presence at the venue and in-person networking opportunities.

Welcome to Engage Customer TV
We’re excited to announce that this year’s Future of the Contact Centre Conference will be broadcasted LIVE from our very own ‘Newsroom Style Studio’, complete with film crew, event host and set that makes you think you’re watching your favourite television show.
We believe in this new approach and feel it’s a refreshing alternative to pre-recorded webinars and ‘Zoom call’ events. All part of our obsession with creating the very best events and making them as engaging and informative as our traditional venue-based conferences.
