WHO should attend?
To compete in business today, these learnings need to be applied across all disciplines

Until now, there has been a flood of disinformation, based on myths, assumptions and unvalidated theory, in relation to Marketing and Buyer Behaviour. Marketing remains a creative profession, but like many other creative professions, it needs laws to guide its efforts.

People skilled in Evidence-based Marketing (EBM) are becoming some of the most sought-after professionals in modern business.
