 Our fantastic host Ron Tite kept the day running smoothly start to finish:

Scott Stratten was first to take the stage to speak on Unmarketing: stop marketing, start engaging. Scott’s presentation was both humorous and informative - a crowd favourite:

Denise Lee Yohn, bestselling author of What Great Brands Do: Seven Brand-Building Principles took the stage next. Denise spoke on how strong brand-building drives profitable growth, enhances stakeholder relationships, and engages employees:

Following a short networking break the highly anticipated Malcolm Gladwell took the stage. Malcolm spoke on his book David and Goliath - Underdogs, Misfits, & the Art of Battling Giants. He had a very powerful stage presence and drew upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us:

After lunch our exclusive Executive Panel took the stage for a Q&A session with Ron Tite. These executives were:

  • Andre Leidenheimer Ruiz Soler, Director of Enterprise Marketing - Microsoft Canada
