Why You Should Be at iMedia's Brand Summit in February
Where can you go to meet more than 140 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, February 8 - 11, 2008 in Coconut Point, Florida.

Now in its eighth 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.

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 industry thought leaders.

Bonin Bough, Director of Global Digital and Social Media, PepsiCo
Jerry Courtney, Group Manager, Corporate Multi-Media, Target
Kevin Doohan, Director, Digital Marketing, Red Bull
John Durham, CEO/Managing Partner, Catalyst
Tom Hespos, President, Underscore Marketing
Jay Livingston, SVP, Global Marketing, Bank of America
Ted Moon, Director of Online Media, Capital One
Mark Naples, Managing Partner, WIT Strategy
Gordon Paddison, Founder + Principal,  Stradella

Additional advisors on each Summit Board: iMedia's Rick Parkhill, Kurt Indvik, Brad Berens, Masha Geller, Doug Weaver, and Scot McLernon.
