COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, April 28, 2010 - Produced by The International Customer Management Institute (ICMI), the
ACCE Conference & Expo, the premier annual global gathering for the contact
center community, has announced its 2010 conference program. Taking place at
the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans on June 14-17, 2010, the event
will bring contact center professionals together to discover how to improve
center performance by better managing people and resources, improving
operations, and properly selecting and implementing technology.

Effectiveness," "Strategic Leadership in Action," "The Power of People," and

consequences," said Joy Sobhani, Conference Director for ICMI Events. "With
this in mind we have created an educational program that addresses these
concerns and provides actionable solutions. The ACCE program contains the
critical information all individuals involved with contact centers need when
implementing new strategies within their contact centers."
