Why You Should Be at iMedia’s Brand Summit this September
Where can you go to meet more than 160 senior level marketing executives from major brand companies controlling billions of dollars worth of interactive marketing budgets?

Probably nowhere else other than iMedia’s Brand Summit, September 9-12, at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort.

Now in its sixth year, the Brand Summit’s primary goal is to bring together brand marketing executives with peers and solution providers to share ideas and tackle hard issues surrounding the integration and application of interactive media in their overall marketing mix. iMedia’s Brand Summits deliver a dynamic combination of session content featuring top-level speakers and numerous opportunities for networking between marketers and solution providers in an exclusive, invitation-only environment.

“There are many opportunities for conferences and events for me to go to, but I have really narrowed it down to iMedia…Really, this is the cream of the crop in the interactive world."
 ---- Carol Kruse, Group Director, Interactive Marketing, Coca-Cola

Content That Tackles Timely Opportunities and Challenges

As with every Brand Summit, an Advisory Board of industry executives meets with iMedia staff months before the Summit to map out the conference theme and major issues to be addressed. The goal is to create a program that not only provides targeted, actionable insight on the industry’s current issues, but does so in a way that encourages all attendees to participate and contribute to the dialogue. 

The Advisory Board is composed of following industry thought leaders:

Jonathan Adams, VP, Director – Media, Digitas
Sean Cheyney, VP, Marketing & Business Development, AccuQuote
Jarvis Coffin, CEO, BURST! Media
Tom Hespos, President, Underscore Marketing
Clark Kokich, CEO, Avenue A I Razorfish
Scot McLernon, former SVP, Sales, CBS Digital Media
Dave Morgan, Chairman, TACODA
Mark Naples, Managing Partner, WIT Strategy
Correy Honza, Director of Internet Marketing, Quiznos Corporation
Sheryl Biesman, Manager of Online Marketing, Pharmavite
