What conference participant's are saying:

"Last year was my first year and we have a very new call center.  The information
I gained at the conference was invaluable.  Not to mention all the times I have
called on all of you I met there last year as we were making decisions for the call
center this year.  I can't wait to see everyone in Jacksonville!"
                                                           Shannon Baldwin County Commission

This conference and the people I have met have been the impetus to keep
moving our call center forward.  We have been around for 19 years so it's easy
to get in a rut.  Learning about new initiates, products, strategies, etc. has been
invaluable to me as a manager as we strive to improve our center.  Whether your
center employs a handful of people or hundreds, whether you are 311 or 7 digit,
if you are new to the business or have been around for a long time, you will meet
someone who has the same problems and/or successes as you.  And since we
are all municipal employees, we can all relate to our special challenges that
private call centers don't "enjoy."

I will be attending this conference this year for the 3rd time.  I took over managing
our call center in 2004 and have found this group of people to be invaluable in
assisting me to make improvements.  It really is a great place to network and
learn best practices from peers.  It also has given me confidence - knowing that
our call center is not alone in some of the challenges we face.  Sometimes other
city departments will question how we do things or why we don't do them
differently.  It certainly helps my credibility when I can say "I've talked to other
cities and they have the same issues. Here are some things they've done and
lessons they learned...."   For some reason, the "administration" is more willing to
accept suggestions when they know it worked somewhere else first.

Whether you are a new call center or have been around for a while - you will
definitely want to come to this conference.  The people you meet will be a
continual resource for you throughout the year, beyond these 3 days.  It is so
reasonably priced (AGCCE members get in for a discounted rate of $125!).  And
who isn't ready for a trip to Florida after this terribly cold, long winter!
