Arlington, VA -- Financial services leaders will meet in Boston to explore the technology, people and processes needed to help restore customer trust in the sector. With fewer than one-in-seven customers reporting complete confidence in their financial institution, the summit is focused squarely on "The Realization of Service." The CEB (NYSE: CEB) Financial Services Technology Summit will feature new research from CEB TowerGroup analysts and keynote speakers representing world-class approaches to customer service, which has been identified by CEB research as the key imperative in restoring trust in financial services. The three-day event will be held at The Westin Waterfront in Boston from April 22-24.
The summit combines the traditional strengths of previous CEB TowerGroup conferences with CEB's customer service insights, most recently surfaced in the best-selling book, The Effortless Experience. The joint focus on service and technology will offer attendees a clear roadmap oriented towards restoring customer trust. In addition to Effortless author Rick DeLisi, keynote speakers include leading service practitioners from financial services and beyond. TD Bank's head of service strategy, Linda Verba, will detail how "America's Most Convenient Bank" leverages technology to solve operating challenges. Jean-Pierre Soutric, a veteran Four Seasons executive, will discuss how meticulous workforce recruiting, training and development underpin their highly regarded service culture.
