The 2010 Industry Insights Summit, which concluded on May 1st, 2010, delivered on its promise as the "Must-Attend" event for both entertainment and brand marketing executives. Selling out weeks in advance, this year's event was considered a major success with 150 attendees. Over 85% of the participants said they will return in 2011, while the other 15% said they would consider coming back next year; not one attendee said they would not consider returning to the Summit!

For the 5th straight year, the Summit brought together top senior-level brand and entertainment marketers to identify and discuss trends, activities and opportunities within 10 of the most promotion-friendly industries around. The content in this year's presentations, coupled with first-class networking, provided participants with an experience that is sure to lead to successful marketing programs. In fact, many executives commented that they were already discussing opportunities before the event was over. Special thanks to our presenting sponsor, AOL, and all of our event sponsors for making this year's Summit bigger and better than ever before.

The Summit is an exclusive event for individuals involved in client-side marketing and entertainment executives. If you are interested in participating in the 2011 Industry Insights Summit as an attendee, speaker or sponsor, please contact The L.A. Office at (310) 275-2088 for additional details.

"Our participation at The 2008 Industry Insights Summit turned out to be the catalyst for the expansion of the International Coke Zero promotion for 'The Quantum of Solace' to the U.S. The comfortable environment you create at The Summit and the caliber of attendees and presenters is the perfect formula for the relationship building that makes a difference in our business. This is an event that produces results and I will be back!"

I'll be back!"
