Upcoming Events
Our popular workshop format offers KAM topic-focused presentations by experienced practitioners and KAM experts, followed by group discussions on interesting questions and challenges. Everyone present can share their experiences and benefit from those of others.
'AKAM Technical' workshops are half-day intensive, smaller-group learning sessions at which an expert workshop leader shares specific techniques with practitioners.
Our annual conferences have a more traditional conference presentation format, and therefore more speakers.
Meetings are held in a different location each time as far as possible, so that AKAM can reach as many people around Europe as we can. Presentations and, where possible, discussion outputs are uploaded afterwards to Member Resources.
AKAM Technical: Customer Experience Mapping Workshop
Wednesday 26th June, SDA Bocconi School of Management, Milan
Key customer business strategies often (and definitely should) exist, but do you have a key customer experience strategy? This workshop will give you a customer experience strategy template and the chance to go away with a draft. You will identify key people and their concerns and plot a way through the maze. Key account management is complicated and carried out in complex organisations, so finding out how to navigate through these relationships is an invaluable technique to learn.

Jerry Angrave, Customer Experience Association & Managing Director of Empathyce
Thursday 27th June, SDA Bocconi School of Management, Milan
Procurement thinks that supplier relationships should generally be limited to 7/8 years, suppliers want to keep going as long as possible.
