About the Conference

August 2-4, 2021 | In-Person and Virtual

Great branding has always had the ability to inspire and transform, and the events of 2020 only amplified this trend, with the rise in brand purpose, socially responsible marketing, and marketing that has a customer-centric, people-first mindset. More brands used their voices in the marketplace to highlight stories that raised issues — in order to spark conversations, eliminate barriers, drive change, and of course, grow the brand.

Attendees left this conference with a healthy dose of INSPIRATION combined with the strategic fuel they needed to drive growth and create meaningful, sustainable value with their customers.
