From Crossmedia TO:
“You’re tired of panels and so are we. This year’s conference introduces a new format featuring ‘quick fire’ demos designed to inform and educate in 7 minutes or less.

“Participate in networking, data moshing, 3D printing and interactive exhibits showcasing some of the latest and greatest technologies.”

From advertisingweek.ca:
“It’s Canada’s biggest industry gathering. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate the essence of advertising and marketing: Creativity, Ideas, and Communication.”

From Marketing magazine:
“With traditional media companies struggling to hold onto audience share, and marketers under pressure to build their brands and ROI, sports marketing holds enormous opportunity. Sports content continues to draw huge audiences for big-budget mass marketing. But it can also deliver countless opportunities for one-to-one connections with fans—from the biggest stadiums and arenas across the country to the local playing field around the corner.

“Don’t miss Marketing magazine’s 2012 Sports Marketing Conference to find out how you can sponsor sports and athletes, work with leagues—and even unions—to connect with fans.

“It’s a half day of training and sponsorship coaching to build your brand muscle through sports.”

From the Canadian Marketing Association:
“Marketing is about connecting. Connecting with consumers; connecting with customers; connecting with each other. The CMA Summit 2012 (formerly the CMA National Convention) is all about Connections. How these connections are made, maintained and measured. Join us on May 16 & 17 at the Westin Harbour Castle in Toronto as we take Connections to the next level.”

From the Young Influencers Conference:
“The 16 – 24 demo is as elusive as they are essential. Convert them in this key age bracket and lifelong brand allegiance is yours. Or is it?

“Stop guessing and start connecting by attending Canada’s most comprehensive youth culture marketing event. Your future depends on it. ”

From the Canadian Marketing Association:
“What is an idea without action? It’s nothing more than a thought, a wish, or a dream. Ideas need action to move forward. They need action to be shaped, to grow, and to be fully realized. No one understands this better than each of our speakers. So come be inspired on February 22, 2012 at the CMA Business of Ideas Forum and discover how to take your idea from spark to fire.”

From Aboriginal Music Week 2012:
