We’ll have a case study presentation by Citro, a rapidly growing financial services startup backed by AMP, followed by a BPO panel discussion and audience Q&A. Attendees receive:

When you think of an average contact center, you probably don’t imagine Pacific Island paradises, still lagoons and hammocks strung between palm trees where you can enjoy "island time". You don't imagine Polynesian princesses like Moana chasing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson across a sparkling blue ocean. And yet …

Let's just say that while Fiji might appear to be the most unlikely outsourcing destination you've ever considered, you might think differently once you've attended this event. We’ll share why, with a fantastic case study from McDonalds (Australia), covering:

  • Why Fiji?
  • Journey outsourcing to date
  • Overview of learnings and outcomes.

This will be followed by a fireside chat with the Founder of one of Fiji’s leading BPOs. There will then be ample time for audience Q&A. Attendees receive:

⭐️  Opportunity to win the best question prize: a free return flight to Fiji courtesy of Fiji Airways (*)

⭐️  $25 Uber Eats voucher (OR $25 charity donation)

⭐️  A complimentary "Why Fiji" white paper
