CRM Summit Fall 2002: Journey from Liftoff to Payoff

18-20 September 2002
Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers
Chicago, IL

No matter what industry you’re in, your most strategic asset is your customer base. Enterprises that understand the bottom-line difference that comes with attracting and retaining profitable customers are best suited to meet and exceed revenue and earnings expectations. As enterprises move forward in the 21st century, acquiring, satisfying and retaining customers - while profitably meeting their demands - will become increasingly more difficult. At Gartner CRM summit, we identify both the business and IT imperatives necessary to facilitate more profitable customer relationships. Our expert analysts examine not only the technology side of the profitable equation, but also the strategies and processes enabled by this technology.

Gartner CRM Summit is the definitive conference to provide both strategic insights and actionable implementation plans for leveraging technology to fostering more customer-centric processes and enhancing your competitive advantage.
