CX Roundtable

Free to watch live. Members also get every past session on demand, with searchable transcripts and executive summaries.
Two ways in. Both show you everything.
Nothing is hidden from you here — every one of the 21 resources stays on the page whether you can open it today or not, so you can see exactly what is behind a membership before you decide anything.

What is Customer Experience?
Customer Experience (CX) is how customers perceive your organisation across every interaction — service, digital journeys, policies, operations, complaints, billing, and the outcomes they walk away with. It is both a discipline with its own frameworks and standards, and a shared responsibility across product, service, technology and operations.
In some organisations CX is a dedicated function with strategy, research, design and analytics. In others it is spread across service, contact centre and digital teams. Either way it shows up in the numbers: retention, advocacy, cost-to-serve, complaint volumes and revenue.
When journeys are unclear, policies inconsistent or service hard to reach, effort goes up — for customers and for staff. That becomes higher cost, more complaints, repeat contacts and lost revenue. CX work makes those mechanics visible and fixable, and ACXPA exists to give practitioners the tools and benchmarks to do it without rebuilding from scratch every time.
If you own customer service performance, contact centre operations, digital journeys, complaints and recovery, voice of customer, personas and research, journey mapping, or CX strategy and governance — you are doing CX.
