About

The practitioners and organizations shaping customer experience as a discipline.

These are the practitioners whose frameworks are taught and cited, the organizations whose customer experience programs others reference, and the leaders whose work shapes the practice. Qualified through Atlas³ and AgenticCX research. Endorsed by The Global CX Alliance.

Who is recognized

Practitioners. Individuals whose frameworks, methodologies, books, talks, and programs others learn from, teach, and build on.

Companies. Organizations that have made customer experience integral to how they operate. The programs other practitioners point to.

Country Top 25. Each month, twenty-five practitioners or organizations leading customer experience in one country.

How recognition works

Recognition begins with someone naming the work. The Alliance qualifies. The class is announced.

  1. Nomination. Anyone can nominate a practitioner or organization. Every name in the Hall started this way.
  2. Review. The Global CX Alliance reads each nomination.
  3. Qualification. Atlas³ and AgenticCX research inform a ranking against standard metrics that confirm legitimate contribution.
  4. Induction. The class is announced and endorsed by The Global CX Alliance.

Practitioner reviews run quarterly. Company reviews run annually. The Country Top 25 is named monthly.

Sponsors

Awards cannot be purchased. Sponsorship is limited to visibility on the rankings and awards pages. Sponsors do not participate in nominations, qualification, or the Alliance’s endorsement.

The grandfathered period

Classes of 2023, 2024, 2025, and the Q1 2026 cohort were inducted before the Alliance review system began. Each inductee receives the Inductee Badge.

What an inductee receives

A certificate. A profile page in the Hall of Fame. The Inductee Badge. A place in the year’s class, recognized together at CX Summit Lisbon Day Three Cocktail.

CX Summit Lisbon

Each year’s class is announced at CX Summit Lisbon, on Day Three of the Alliance Summit in June.
