Chad McDaniel, President and Conference Chair, says it best as he describes below the overall theme of the 3 day conference, Customer Response Summit 5, Customer Care for the Connected Customer.

The first time I attended an Execs In the Know conference in May of 2011, I knew Chad McDaniel and his organization were on to something special.  The Execs in the Know Customer Response Summit Series promote and accomplish very open and relevant conversations, story telling, experience sharing and flat out enables each person who attends to walk out a little bit smarter than when they walked in.

Tracy Thompson and I are very much looking forward to attending this event; and we are also happy to support this Execs in the Know Customer Response Summit as a Sponsor.
