The imedia Brand Summit schedule will consist of cutting edge conference sessions presented by the sharpest minds in the industry. In addition to conference presentations, the summit will also include peer-to-peer round table debates to tackle the challenges brand marketers face in today’s ever changing digital landscape.

It’s not all work, work, work though! Also written into the schedule are networking activities such as wine tasting, golfing, and nature walking. We also include personal development sessions on topics such as public speaking and NLP. The result is a relaxed but focused two day schedule designed to promote valuable and relevant business relationships.
