Eighth Annual Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit

Eighth Annual Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit: Consumer and Brand Trust; October 3-4 2018

The 2018 Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit.

Given the rapid pace of change in marketing, the job you are doing, the strategies you are executing and the way your organization is structured will be different very soon. Today, success means a permanent state of transformation.

On October 3-4, The Kellogg School of Management, in collaboration with Egon Zehnder and McKinsey & Company, will convene senior marketing leaders for a dialogue on: Transformation: For Your Organization & For Yourself.

The Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit is an invitation-only interactive and intimate discussion between renowned marketing researchers and marketers who lead the world’s most important organizations. We are a network of senior marketing leaders collaboratively working to advance the practice of marketing.

We explore the emerging opportunities and obstacles in marketing through research briefs, illustrative case studies from c-suite leaders, panels and participatory sessions. This year’s executives leading discussions join us from Coca-Cola, Facebook, GoFundMe, Google, KFC and Peapod.
