Why You Should Attend

4th Annual Utility Customer Experience Management

Previously, federal regulation of utilities fostered a culture in which customer satisfaction was put on the backburner. With the public eye focused on utilities to a greater extent than ever before, and with the continuing trend towards deregulation, it is critical for utilities to make customer satisfaction a priority and improve their efforts in order to maintain existing accounts as well as attract new ones.

The marcus evans 4th Annual Utility Customer Experience Management Conference will focus on assessing and enhancing customer service policies, determining and exceeding the needs of all segments of the customer spectrum from low-income residential customers to hi-tech industrial customers, engaging customers through proactive outreach efforts such as energy efficiency programs, and providing consumers with tailored billing and payment resources.

Attending This Conference Will Enable You To:


1. Advance customer service through customer satisfaction data and internal culture change
2. Actively educate customers about their involvement in conservation efforts
3. Employ energy efficiency and green initiatives to engage the customer and reduce demand
4. Revamp billing and payment structures to provide customers with tailored and advanced means to make payments

Industry leaders attending this conference will benefit from a dynamic presentation format consisting of workshops, panel discussions, and industry-specific case studies that provide accurate, real-world knowledge. Attendees will experience highly interactive conference sessions, 10-15 minutes of Q&A time after each presentation, 4+ hours of networking, and exclusive online access to materials post-event.
