WASHINGTON –  On Tuesday, October 8, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service and Accenture Federal Services will host their annual customer experience summit and release their latest report: “Government for the People: Profiles on the Customer Experience.” The report is a first-of-its kind collection of customer experience data, feedback and insights from across eight of the federal government’s highest-impact service providers.

The summit will include a presentation on the report’s findings; a panel discussion with executives from Federal Student Aid, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Transportation Security Administration; and a keynote address from the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. Each speaker will discuss how their agency has prioritized and improved the customer experience, and will share insights and conclusions from the report.

The new report builds on customer experience data and information on 25 high-impact federal service providers that the Office of Management and Budget published last month and profiles eight of the agencies with the highest volume of direct contact with the public.
