let's talk about cex!
In an era where audiences expect more than information, imagine opening your conference with an experience powerful enough to shift mindsets and ignite action. Lynn Baker’s keynote, “Let’s Talk About CEX,” does exactly that—transforming customer experience from a corporate buzzword into an unforgettable strategic awakening. This is where CX stops being theory and becomes a live, electrifying force for business growth.
Lynn shatters the mold of traditional keynotes with high-energy delivery, sharp business insight, and immersive audience engagement. Leaders quickly see what today’s customers already know: experience is everything. Rather than simply explaining CX, she demonstrates it in real time—showing organizations how to elevate connection, loyalty, and trust in ways that drive measurable performance.
​
What truly sets this keynote apart is The Customer Journey Game, Lynn’s groundbreaking business simulation where participants don’t win money—they win customers, just like in the real world. Suddenly, every decision, every touchpoint, and every employee’s role becomes vividly clear. Delegates walk away inspired, aligned, and ready to revolutionize how their teams deliver value.
This isn’t a presentation—it’s the start of your organization’s next-level customer experience movement.
