Events Review
Call Centre Management Symposium 2002
The Call Centre Management Symposium 2002 was organised on 31 October 2002, in Hong Kong. The event was a great success with 250 participants from China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Australia in attendance. Because the participants and the countries involved have increased every year, we expect that this will become one of the major regional events within in the Call Centre industry .
This Symposium also provided a unique opportunity to share valuable insights about opportunities and challenges facing the future growth of call centre industry. In fact, the inspiring presentations delivered by the distinguished speakers provided the attendees with a wealth of valuable ideas. They also offered a chance to gain new insights about the opportunities and challenges for the development and operation of call centres in today's new economy environment.
In order to provide even greater benefits to a wider range of practitioners within the industry who may have been too busy to attend the Symposium but would still like to learn from your speech, we have loaded all of the presentation files onto our website.
