To put our finalists to the test, we rely on an expert panel of judges who will shape the future of customer experience through insightful feedback and rigorous scoring. This year we are looking for astute individuals like you to form our team of independent and impartial judges.
Judging at the Gulf Customer Experience Awards is a great way to share your knowledge and experience, and at the same time, you have the valuable opportunity to hear customer experience initiatives first hand from cross-sector organisations. You can also raise your profile, network with other business leaders, and of course celebrate at the ceremony with the finalists and winners!
All Judges are required to sign a confidentiality agreement and abide by the Code of Conduct to ensure there are no conflicts of interest and deliver a safe and respectful environment for all attendees.
