Recap of Customer Advisory Board Conference 2019

Over 50 people attended our annual conference for Customer Advisory Board program managers in Boston on December 5^th. We had some great presentations followed roundtable discussions on top of mind topics regarding managing advisor councils identified by the attendees. The key presentations were:

“Becoming Customer Obsessed by using Customer Advisory Board Insights to Drive Change” – Stephanie G. Wicky, Group Director, Marketing, Supply Chain Solutions & Dedicated Transportation, Ryder System, Inc.

“Aiming High to Recruit & Engage CAB Members” – Ben Tao, Vice President – Corporate Marketing, Forcepoint

“Planning for an Annual Strategic CAB Meeting” – Elyse Begleiter, VP, Corporate Events, BNY Mellon | Pershing

“Driving Tangible Business Value through Customer Advisory Boards: Our CAB Experience” – Angela Nichols, Senior Manager, Global Advisory Boards, Clinical Effectiveness, UpToDate

“The Secret Sauce of Session Design” – Eyal Danon, Founder, Ignite Advisory Group

Following these sessions we worked in smaller groups in breakouts to tackle these questions and share best practices: What are the Top 3 Challenges you face managing Customer Advisory Board Programs? What are the Top 3 Solutions to these?
