2021 Kellogg Marketing Leadership Summit

Kellogg MLS

 

Join us for the 2021 Marketing Leadership Summit this September 29


As the world shifts quickly in response to the Delta variant, our Summit team has determined that the best and safest way to deliver our program this year is virtually. We have heard from so many of you in the past few weeks that determining what travel will be approved by your companies and deemed essential for your colleagues and teams remains a challenge.

As such, we are moving ahead with our partners Egon Zehnder and McKinsey & Company to deliver a truly compelling virtual experience. Be assured we will include time for small breakouts to network, as we know the value that brings to this exceptional audience. The program will be held on Wednesday, September 29th, from 8:00 am – noon CDT.
 
For our upcoming Summit we will hone in our theme of Marketing Leadership: "What’s Around the Corner?” As always, we will explore topics from both business, research and human leadership perspectives that will help us all anticipate what is coming next for business leaders.
 
As we launch the next decade of Summit programs with our partners Egon Zehnder and McKinsey & Company, we have spent time thoughtfully planning a truly distinctive and compelling event for an extraordinary group of marketers. Collectively we all agree that there is no better time than now to be a marketing leader!
 
We’re very excited about the Summit and look forward to seeing you virtually.



Many thanks to our sponsors:


Egon Zehnder
McKinsey & Company
