Customer Experience Scholarship

The Customer Experience Conference delves into a range of new challenges for those working in and managing customer service and customer experience. The conference is a great opportunity to explore the future of customer experience in local government whilst providing opportunities for networking, professional development and information-sharing.

Successful members will receive registration to attend the conference plus 2 night's accommodation.

Members will need to meet the cost of travel or other expenses associated with attending. 

 As part of the Association's commitment to provide members with professional development that is accessible and affordable, we are offering two scholarships to help promote participation and reduce barriers for members wishing to attend.
