2024 Customer Education Pinnacle Award

CEdMA presents the Customer Education Pinnacle Award to recognize outstanding achievement in the field of Customer Education within its membership community.

We want to hear how you’ve made a significant impact in your organization through Customer Education. Maybe you’ve driven innovation through the use of generative AI or new approaches to driving revenue. Perhaps your new program or product offering has delivered a significant return on investment. Tell us about a first-of-its-kind project you have successfully completed.

The prestigious Customer Education Pinnacle Award recognizes a project completed within the last 12 months that produced quantified impact for your organization. Success can be measured by financial impact, customer satisfaction, productivity gains, or improved retention rates.

A strong application clearly defines the project, shares how the impact was measured, and provides knowledge that could be adopted by other CEdMA members.
