ICTC2015 was held Monday & Tuesday, March 9-10, 2015.
Our 2016 conference will be held Monday, February 29, 2016.
“To achieve excellence, we can’t compare ourselves to other insurers alone. We have to compare ourselves to Google for insight, to Facebook for engagement, and to Amazon for distribution.”
— a Canadian insurance marketing executive
Today’s consumer is constantly raising the bar for sales and service. Just a few years ago, 24/7 service was optional. No longer. Consumers expect on-line customer self-service, at their convenience, not yours.
Leading companies improve themselves continuously. Customer satisfaction is a relic – engagement, innovation and constant improvement are the new benchmarks.
Technology is integral to the customer experience. The 2015 Insurance-Canada.ca Technology Conference (#ICTC2015) will provide you the information you need to create, execute, and support the digital experience your customers expect.
