Bethesda, MD – September 26, 2011 – Consero Group LLC, which is best known for creating high-level events for senior corporate counsel executives, today announced its first Customer Experience Forum, which is taking place October 16-18, 2011 at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, CA.

The exclusive, invitation-only Customer Experience Forum is designed for top executives who are responsible for overseeing all interactions between customers and organizations throughout the entire lifecycle of the relationship.

“Today’s announcement is significant because it represents the success and long-term potential of our event model,” says Paul Mandell, Co-Founder and CEO of Consero.   “During the past year, we have held numerous events for corporate counsel and government executives at which we delivered compelling content, a dynamic learning environment and valuable networking opportunities.   With Consero’s first Customer Experience Forum, we are confident that we can offer the same value to senior executives in this important market segment.”
