Wednesday Keynote | Progress Over Perfection: The Path To Making Change
What does progress over perfection mean when it comes to accessibility? It means to get started. Don’t wait until everything is done and perfect. The small steps make a big difference. It also means educating people who don’t understand disabilities. Accessibility is for everyone. It’s everyone’s responsibility, every department from human (HR) resources and marketing to finance and procurement has a part to play. Educate, don’t berate. If the world needs more of anything, it’s kindness.
Bennie F. Johnson, CEO, American Marketing Association
Thursday Keynote | Marketing is…Science, Art, and Magic
How have things changed over the last year and what feels like more of the same in 2024 is the conversation for this keynote. Marketing is all about increasing the dynamism in our world but the constant change that drives innovation can be a challenge. While we aren’t fortune tellers, we can see the role of marketing extending and we need to anticipate ways to bring value and impact to our organizations. As leaders in our community, we also need to look outside of our industry at the impact of new technology and AI, innovative growth strategies, and how we increase and sustain talent on our teams. As our world shifts to fit new realities, marketers also need to get more comfortable with speed and uncertainty in our organizations and work. Join us for a discussion about the new, the dynamic, and the intent of our marketing work.
