Miami Brand Summit

February 24 – 26, 2019

Location

Miami, FL

Date

February 24-26, 2019

Discussion Participants

70+ Executives

Purpose

Personal Growth & Marketing

Content. Connections. Commerce.

Our Summit is designed with one goal in mind – to help you solve actual marketing challenges. For that journey we have created a truly unique experience, based on 3 core principles:

  • Professional development goes hand-in-hand with personal growth.
  • Problems get solved by very smart people in small groups.
  • Powerful networks are built on meaningful connections.

As an invitee you will be part of a very exclusive and highly curated group of 75 senior brand leaders for this once-in-a-lifetime event. You will be inspired, you will be challenged, and you will be prepared to deal with the challenges that you face in your industry. In the evenings, as we have fun exploring historic Charleston, you will forge relationships that will strengthen your support network and overall career path well beyond the Summit. By the time you leave you will have mapped out the next steps on your professional and personal journey as a marketer and as an individual.

The format is dynamic and engaging. To be a participant we ask that you come prepared to be an active contributor – this is unlike any other professional gathering you will have experienced before. The Summit is free to attend (hotel and Summit pass) for qualified brand executives.

We invite you to explore the schedule outline and contact us if you feel you can both benefit from, and contribute to, The Room Marketer’s Summit.
