iMedia Communications has announced the addition of two Summits to its 2009 calendar of interactive industry networking events.

The new Summits will include an additional Brand Summit as well as a Breakthrough Summit.

"The demand both from marketers as well as publishers and service providers has been the driver in this decision to add these two additional summits in 2009," said Kurt Indvik, general manager, iMedia Communications, who noted that the two Brand Summits and one Breakthrough Summit in 2008 were sellouts.

The three 2009 Brand Summits will serve marketers in the Western, Central and Eastern regions of the U.S. The dates will be Feb. 8-11 in Bonita Springs, Fla.; June 7-10 in Colorado Springs, Colo.; and Sept. 13 - 16 in Coronado, Calif.

The Summits routinely attract more than 140 senior marketing executives from numerous Fortune 500 companies.

The additional Breakthrough Summit -- designed to bring together agency executives and brand marketers -- will be held Oct. 25 -28 in Lake Las Vegas, Nev. That Summit will be in addition to a Breakthrough held in Bonita Springs, Fla., which will run March 22 -25.
