LVIMA Sponsored Breakfast – March 8, 2017
In addition to our usual event schedule in 2017, LVIMA is also offering a new co-sponsored breakfast series, held in conjunction with a select few (one per quarter) of our sponsor partners.
These quarterly breakfasts, open to local marketers only, are focused on education and thought leadership on a variety of current topics that concern Las Vegas marketers in our rapidly-changing world. Sponsors will be working in partnership with LVIMA to bring expert speakers and high quality content to this new series!
Because these are separate from our normal 2017 LVIMA schedule and hosted by a partner, only qualified local marketers may attend. Professional members receive access to our regular schedule but not to these marketer-focused breakfasts.
