Testimonials from 2007

"I am at Call Center Week because I believe that all of us really believe about putting the customer first and one of the things I really want to celebrate is that this event is twice as big and better than last year. It is so great to be here!"

hearHear Patti Crowley, Director of Customer Experience, Bath & Body Works

"We are the chair sponsor of Call Center Week 2007. We think this is a fantastic event. We have visited other call center conferences around the country to determine which would be the best place to make a big presence and our conclusion was that IQPC puts on the best event. It is not only fabulous from an operation, sharing information perspective but they always have it in a fantastic hotel and facility. It has been a great experience for us."

hearGene Schriver, Executive Vice President, Language Services Association

“It’s been a wonderful experience over the last couple of days at Call Center Week. This is the first time I have attended. It has been incredible; the people I have met have been amazing and the presentations super. I was fortunate enough to have a collaborative session through a panel discussion in which I learned a lot. Also winning an award on “Best in Class Call Center (over 500 staff)” is an absolute bonus to the event.”
