2017 is here, and with it comes a new look (and name) for our publication.

As you can probably tell, we are now known as CCW Digital.  The name change reflects our alignment with the popular CCW conference.  It also reflects our commitment to deliver content and network befitting the world’s #1 customer experience conference (and brand).

We’ll be unveiling some exciting changes and new features in the coming weeks (spoiler alert: the return of our podcast, interviews with the most accomplished leaders in the world, new contributors, free presentations and videos from our conferences, and more).  For now, however, we want to take one final look in the rear view.

We want to share our most-read articles from 2016.

That rear view, interestingly, reveals forward-looking the community is. Two of our top three articles involve trends for 2017.

What else resonated with the CCW Digital community in 2016?  Here are the Top 5 (well, six, due to a tie) articles from last year:
