The First Annual Bakersfield Marketing Symposium 2007 will be a completely unique and innovative event for the business denizens of Bakersfield and Kern County. It will be the premier opportunity to bring local business executives together to network, collaborate and learn the latest and brightest marketing strategies, ideas and trends. The Symposium will feature speakers from the brightest and most successful marketing and customer-centric companies throughout the United States. Never before have the business owners and executives from Bakersfield had an opportunity to learn not only the value and benefits of a marketing driven culture from those in the know, but they will receive valuable take-away information that will enable them to initiate, develop or sustain their own marketing programs. This symposium will provide a comprehensive course in "here and now" marketing that will assist any size or type of business in the latest methods to locate, acquire and retain loyal customers.
In addition to the three content-rich general sessions and three smaller marketing breakouts that will be conducted on November 15, 2007 at the Bakersfield Doubletree Hotel attendees will be able to visit with several area business exhibits that can provide valuable marketing products and services. This unprecedented educational event will include a Continental Breakfast as well as lunch to be preceded by a valuable VIP reception and networking opportunity with the speakers and executive audience.
