@Lauren Stefano I relate to this so much! It sounds like they really trust you which is such a blessing and a curse. Some execs love to wing it and it’s not the vibe were going for hahah

@Shelly Ryder That sounds like a great approach! I do think it’s all in the prep.

Thank you all so much for your advice! This is incredibly helpful and reassuring at the same time. Great tips on prep, timing, that I’ll definitely use.

The prep is so important. I’m not sure if you all run into this, but wrangling the execs in my company can be very challenging - they see the CAB as extremely valuable, but we’re often scrambling and so the prep (which is the most important) feels rushed.

I’m happy to chat CABs anytime! I’ve done 4 in person and this will be my second virtual - the first one was obviously a little hairy (from my perspective) so wanted to connect with others about how they plan and execute. Really appreciate you all for taking the time to give your advice 🙂

@here Hey everyone! Wondering if anyone has advice or best practices for engaging virtual CAB meetings? We’ve had two in person CAB meetings this year with our North American Cohort and EMEA Cohort and we’re doing a virtual meeting at the end of October to gather the two cohorts as we head into 2025. The meeting will only be about 1.5-2 hours and we have 15 members in total across the board. So lots of attendee’s and not a ton of time, but I want to ensure it’s useful, people feel heard/can share and we make the most out of the time.

Thanks in advance!

True @Mary Green (Owner CMAweekly)! I bet they’ve done some incredible gifting.

Bobble heads would be fun! Thanks @Evan Jacobs

Thanks @Laurie Timms! I’ll reach out directly.

@here Hey everyone 👋 This is a long shot, but about two years ago there was someone in CM who had gifted their CAB members with really beautiful and personalize caricatures and shared them with everyone as an idea for gifting. I’d love to do this for our members this Spring. Any chance that person is in this group? I’d love to connect with you and see who you did them through. They were really well done and the idea was so thoughtful!

If anyone else has really fun, personalized ways you celebrate your CAB members I’d love to hear from you too!

Thanks in advance ☀️

Hey everyone 👋

Two random questions:
1. What conference are best to attend in 2024 as a customer marketer?
2. Would anyone recommend any specific courses or PD they’ve done themselves or heard great things about?
Thanks in advance!
