Spring Boston Event Recap: Getting Motivated & Achieving Success
Wow! What a great event we had last week in Boston, MA. We're still catching up and feeling motivated after an action-packed day and a half. This year's spring event took place from April 23rd-24th, 2018 at the Boston Marriott Quincy. We hosted delegate executives from leading companies across the country including Cheer Pack North America, Samsung SRA, Liberty Mutual, The Cheesecake Factory, Autodesk, Inc., Wells Fargo, and more. We lead off with a powerful keynote from Randy Fox, who motivated us all with the secret to winning: motivating and lifting up others.
We then kicked off with our one-on-one meetings, the heart of our Forum Events program. Thirty-four solution providers met with executives face-to-face about the latest technology and services to drive business success. They were overwhelmingly a success, with a flood of positive testimonials. Here is just a small sample: “Forum Events provided great resources and amenities to facilitate business opportunities. Would highly recommend.” - Legendary Entertainment (HR & Employee Benefits Summit Delegate) “Great event. This is actually better than visiting 1,000 booths.” - Aetna Integrated Services/Atalian Global Services (Training & Development Summit Delegate) “Very informative – appreciated that we were able to choose vendors ahead of time. Got our brains thinking of ways we can enhance our call center.” - Meridian Health (Contact Center & Customer Service Summit Delegate) “An outstanding summit. I love the environment and opportunity to meet with companies 1 on 1. Great for networking and lead generation. Overall, a fun experience. We will be back!” - Mango Languages (Training & Development Summit Solution Provider) “The staff is so helpful and fun to work with! You can tell that they put effort into making sure their delegates and sponsors are both taken care of. Thank you for a great event!!!” - Paradigm Shift Leadership (Training & Development Summit Solution Provider) “We are very pleased with the white-glove approach [the Forum] team took to ensure this was a productive use of time, money, and that it was a positive experience. The level of attention to detail was exceptional, as well.” – Intelegencia (Contact Center & Customer Service Summit)
Our workshop sessions also provided many learning opportunities throughout the event. During our HR & Employee Benefits Summit and Training & Development Summits, we learned how to build an engaged workforce from speaker Taura Prosek, how to make our corporate communication more effective during sessions from Merrick Rosenberg and Pete Smith. All-in-all, we held 8 fantastic workshops. Our Contact Center & Customer Service Summit was also jam-packed with amazing sessions. We learned about onboarding and great hiring strategies from speaker John Stock, the brain science behind emails that persuade with Nancy Harhut, and all about agile performance management and how to turn managers into leaders with Lisa Rueth. “Greatly enjoyed Lisa Rueth’s presentations. Worth the entire trip!” remarked a Customer Service & Contact Center Summit attendee from City of Hope. We also made time for networking during our networking reception, meals, and gala dinner. Some of our attendees and solution providers walked away with Marriott gift cards after walking away with the most chips at our popular Casino Night! (See all the photos here).

Event Recap: Contact Center Summit | Chicago, IL
With pre-arranged one-on-one meetings taking place in the main ballroom from 9 A.M. on Monday morning to mid-day on Tuesday, delegates were able to connect with vendors while seated at their own tables – allowing for more in-depth and personal conversations. “I found that I greatly prefer vendors finding me and having high-level information on our projects,” explained the Compliance Officer of Call Center Operations from Ameridial. For many attendees, the one-on-one interactions that take place during the meeting portion of the summit are important for building future business relationships and communicating needs effectively. Seminars throughout the event covered topics in the contact center industry including strategic plans for customer care, methods to utilize customer feedback, and even human resources. Speakers from companies included HireIQ Solutions, Inc., StubHub, Corvisa and InfoCision Management Corp. The open format of each seminar allowed executives to share their own experiences out loud and gain knowledge from their industry peers. A waterfront pavilion was the perfect setting for more intimate networking events at the summit including a gala dinner and casino evening. This was the best time for reconnecting with new acquaintances in a less formal manner. Prefaced with a cocktail hour and gala dinner, guests participated in casino games before retiring to their own private rooms.
At a closing luncheon on Tuesday, attendees bid farewell with new connections, plans for completing future projects and enough time to make it back to the office before the day was over! The next Contact Center & Customer Service Summit will take place on April 25 & 26, 2016 in Dallas, Texas.
