In spite of and due to the current soft economy, the role of Chief Marketing Officers is more critical now than ever before.  The role is changing as additional pressures to perform are felt and the markets continue to evolve.

It is against this backdrop that Argyle Executive Forum presents its 2008 CMO Leadership Forum, which will take place in Chicago, bringing together the marketing leadership from approximately 100-125 public and private large-cap and mid-cap corporations.  The forum will focus on several areas including (but not limited to): shifting the marketing model, creating loyalty among consumers, continued brand growth in a downturned economy and marketing accountability.

Please note that seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. This event is by invitation only, and an invitation code is required. If you did not receive an invitation but would like to inquire about attendance, please click here
