LVIMA Sponsored Breakfast

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.  

If you would like to partner with LVIMA on an educational event like this, please email us at [email protected]

Our Keynote – Consumer Connections in a Location-Based World

Location-based data and technologies are changing the way consumers, devices and marketers interact. Data and connectivity are enabling new kinds of marketing networks that provide brands with tools to better engage their customers. Thinknear will deep-dive on the data to highlight real use-cases for marketers, including a sneak peak at how location will impact the emergence of connected cars.
