Dear Colleagues,
As Chairs of the Chicago CMO Executive Summit, it is our privilege to thank you in advance for your support and participation in this unique conference that was built to support the needs of Chief Marketing Officers from the largest organizations in our region. The goal of our conference is to provide a regionally driven peer-to-peer exchange that facilitates best practices and fuels new and meaningful relationships among CMOs and other senior marketing executives.
The CMO Executive Summit is driven by a Governing Body of leading CMOs who play a vital role in the development of this conference. These marketing leaders create an agenda that addresses the most compelling opportunities and challenges that are relevant to them and their peers, thus delivering on the promise: "by CMOs, for CMOsSM."
The CMO Executive Summit will enhance the power and reach of your professional relationships by providing a seat at the table with other marketing executives from the Fortune 1000.
Recognized as the most respected leadership conference in North America, the conference is without question, the networking event of the year for CMOs.
On behalf of our 2011 Governing Body, we look forward to seeing you at the Summit.
