At the 2012 Marketing Leadership Forum – Marketing Transformation: Rethinking, Reskilling, and Reinventing the Organization, we will explore the issues that matter most to marketing leaders, who are in the midst of mastering new ways of marketing so they can keep pace with—and stay relevant to—today’s buyers. A select group of senior marketers and practitioners will share their experiences, insights, practical tips, and thoughts on future trends. Some of the topics we’ll address together include:
The Marketing Leadership Forum is one of the only events designed specifically for senior marketing leaders at technology, communications, and professional services companies.

In addition, we are also excited to offer one-to-one meetings to enhance your Forum experience. Identify an area of interest (or question or issue) when you register, and we’ll schedule a 30-minute informal meeting for you with an ITSMA subject matter expert or associate during the Forum. Meeting times are limited, so let us know what you want to talk about. A sampling of some of the topics you might consider includes:
Not exactly a fit with your area of interest? No problem. Let us know what you want to discuss, and we’ll do our best to find the appropriate expert to meet with you. Take advantage of this opportunity when you register!
ITSMA’s 2012 Marketing Leadership Forum is designed specifically for senior marketing and sales executives at director-level and above. If you are unsure of your eligibility to participate, please contact Carolyn Jefferson at +1-781-862-8500, Ext. 121, or cjefferson@itsma.com.
