About the Conference
Founded by Client Savvy, CXps is open to ALL professional services firms with a passion to differentiate their firm on the service they provide. The event includes opportunities to engage in CX initiatives from all levels: the CEO who needs to understand the strategic benefit, the HR Director who recognizes the importance of the employee experience (EX), the internal champion who needs to know how to “sell” it to the team, and the program coordinator whose job it is to get their initiative off the ground.
CXps brings together people who want more than theory. They want to know HOW to take the next steps to make their firms successful in integrating client experience with their firms’ strategic initiatives.
CXps 2022 is designed to deliver the most innovative CX strategies through a combination of keynote speakers, breakout sessions, workshops, and panel discussions.
If you have not participated in a CXps conference before, we encourage you to look back at our speakers from our 2019 conference and watch the recordings of our keynote speakers from our recent virtual events.
As a reminder, each paid membership in the CXps community includes the registration fee for the conference

- Abide by all precautions implemented for the conference
- Practice social distancing and avoid physical contact, such as handshakes or embraces, with others
- Respect the personal space of those around you
- Monitor your health leading up to and during the event, and not attend the event if you feel unwell
- Complete the “CXps Community Responsibility Acknowledgement” 24-48 hours prior to the event
- Follow all state and local guidelines
We will continue to update and evaluate these measures as the event approaches. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
