Letter from the Chair

Dear Government Colleagues:

Today's body of knowledge in our community of practice is diverse, distributed, and fluid.  We all must learn together and from each other across support types and between levels of Government in order to best serve our customers.  The barriers which previously separated help desks, call centers, web sites, and other types of customer portals, as well as Federal, state, and local levels, from each other are evaporating quickly as we mature into the culturally interconnected 21st Century paradigm for supporting customers in the public sector.

The annual Government Customer Support Conference is the only event which brings together the full diversity of support types across all levels of Government to give you the full vision needed to effectively support Government's customers today -- and enable you to support them efficiently across all contact channels tomorrow.  We're building this year's program by carefully seeking the major issues which drive your world and screening experts to address them at a level which will enable you to serve your customers effectively and efficiently.  Regardless of what type of support you provide, and whether your customers are internal or external, you'll find this a priceless opportunity to learn from both peers and industry experts.

Watch our program evolve at www.hthts.com/gcs2008program.htm and plan to join us in quaint Alexandria, Virginia for a tremendous learning and networking experience.  I hope to see you there!
