2007 marks our 5th Annual Youth Marketing Mega Event. Watching the event grow over the past four years has been exciting and we've been proud to deliver the likes of Tom Peters, Peter Guber, Jane Buckingham, Irma Zandl and high ranking execs from Target, American Apparel, Nike, Procter & Gamble, MGA Entertainment, AXE, MTV, Sony, Mattel, Yahoo! NASCAR, Nextel, Pepsi, Facebook, The Knot, Warner Brothers Records and many more to our delegates year after year. And to mark our fifth conference – we're celebrating! We're planning an event even more rich with content, more forward in thinking and more deliberate in relationship building than ever before. It will be quite a feat, but we're confident that we will once again prove to be the ONLY EVENT that serious youth marketers need to be at every year.
And because we're getting older, we're getting bigger, and we're getting better.
