What does our community think?
"The Customer Alpha event was an extremely relevant and detailed event which was of benefit to companies across many industries. The VC Innovations preparation for the event was very professional and it was a pleasure to be a part of."
LEE TAYLOR
ONLYFANS
"Customer Alpha was a wonderfully curated event with some of the best insights I’ve heard to date around CX.I particularly enjoyed working with Giovanna Mefli, John Sills and Susannah Simmons on our panel discussion and I also enjoyed hearing Livia Bernadini from Zag on the panel titled, “how can businesses better serve customers during a time of rising prices and stretched incomes.” I thought this topic was extremely relevant and timely.Looking forward to participating in more conferences organized by VC Innovations!"
ELENA CICCOTELLI
TELEPERFORMANCE
"The organization of the event was remarkable. Although there were countless speakers, I could sense the people in-charge provided personal attention to any request and question. At the event itself, from the very first moment I could feel completely aware of how things are handled and what should I do. An untrivial point was the panel actually started exactly on time.
Also the speakers that shared the stage with me – Andrew (Disruption Banking), Alexandra (Bike Club) and Edward (Pret A Manger) – handled the event professionally and I could sense we had a nice chemistry."

"Customer Alpha was an excellent experience. Talking on a panel gave me exposure to a wide range of perspectives and allowed me to field questions from peers. Listening in to other speakers and asking questions was valuable to my organization's pressing needs. Beyond the panels, networking with peers was smooth and productive. I'm looking forward to opportunities surfaced through that process."
WESLEY MANN

"I had a great time networking and engaging in insightful and thought provoking discussions. This was a very well organized event and it was fun meeting some old acquaintances and making new ones. I would highly recommend these events to anyone looking to hone their networking skills, meet some great people and brainstorm together to expand their perspectives. Enjoyed every minute of it."

“The depth of expertise and diversity of thought at CustomerX made it one of the most interesting and helpful conferences I've attended this year. It felt less like a conference and more like a community of intelligent, curious, and connected people who share similar professional and career goals.”
