You know those moments when someone says, “We should probably ask Legal”? Let’s get them in the room.

On November 11, join SOCAP for “Bring Your Legal Team to a Webinar Day,” with a conversation about the FCC, TCPA, and the questions that bring customer care and legal teams together.

Forward the invitation to your legal partner, bring your questions, and join us. We’d love to see you both there.

We already miss you! So let's get next year's event on our calendars now.

We’re heading back to Tempe for the 2027 SOCAP CX Conference!

October 12–14, 2027
Omni Tempe Hotel | Tempe, Arizona

If you joined us there in 2025, you know why we’re excited to return. If you missed it, consider this your very early nudge to join us.

One of my favorite things about getting this group together is watching a quick hello turn into a conversation that lasts well past the session break. Familiar faces, new connections, and people who understand exactly what your workday looks like. That’s SOCAP.

Registration details will come later. For now, put these dates on your calendar, give your team a heads-up, and leave a little room for Arizona in next year’s plans.

Come for the Knowledge, Stay for the Network.

Your team’s best work deserves recognition.

Have you introduced technology that improved customer service? Found a new way to solve a customer challenge? Built a training program that helped your people succeed?

• Best Use of Technology in Customer Service

The early-bird deadline is November 12, 2026. Now is a great time to choose your project, gather your results, and start telling your team’s story.

Fair warning: we're still going through conference photos, so get ready.

One of my favorite parts of getting this group together is watching everyone reconnect, pull someone new into a conversation, and pick up right where they left off.

Thank you for bringing your ideas, your stories, and your sense of humor to Oak Brook. You make this community what it is.

The conference sparked the conversation. Keep it going with your team.

As you put ideas from last week’s SOCAP CX Conference into practice, explore the SOCAP Leadership Conversations Executive Guide.

Built around clarity, courage, and creativity, the guide brings together insights from our Leadership Conversations series to help you reflect on your own leadership and start meaningful discussions with colleagues.

Choose one theme to bring to your next team meeting. Where could greater clarity help? What decision calls for courage? Where is there room to think differently?
