According to TM Forum’s recent global survey of service providers, nothing is more important to success than customer engagement. Indeed, many service providers’ transformation programs are led by customer centric approaches. Join us at this TM Forum event, Customer Engagement Strategies for the Digital World, where we will be exploring multiple dimensions of how service providers can increase their customer digital maturity.  We will explore leading edge topics such as “Enhancing customer engagement with intelligence”, “Driving loyalty through contextual and personalized interactions” and “enabling customers to interact in a ‘Channel of choice’ driven by their intent”.

The workshop will be an exciting mixture of discussions with your peers and feature executive speakers from leading service providers, digital native companies, TM Forum, and leading technology vendors including Adobe, Amdocs, Google and IBM  to discuss how service providers and other companies are working to deploy strategies to increase engagement, build trust and monetize customer relationships.
