2017 Oct 12
Finally it is that time of the year we all have been eagerly waiting for. What am I talking about? Well! Some of you may have already had a sneak peek of what’s cooking for the Future Marketers’ Conference 2017. The CIM Sri Lanka Student Committee is working hard behind the scenes to make sure that FMC 2017 is the talk of the year.
So for those who are totally new to the concept of the Future Marketers’ Conference, here is a quick refresher to get you people on-board.
The Future Marketers’ Conference is the flagship event organized by the Student Committee of the Chartered Institute of Marketing Sri Lanka. This year’s conference is the 6th consecutive full day conference organized by the student committee which will be held on 21 October 2017 at the Waters Edge Battaramulla, from 9.00am to 5.00pm. The theme this year “Build Beyond Basics” focuses on building new ventures. May it be inside an already established organisation, or something of your own; it is all about getting your basic idea established and building it into something great and unique.
You may have already saved the date, made reservations, or even stuck in the middle wondering what to do; so our team has compiled a list of 5 reasons as to why the CIM Future Marketers’ Conference 2017 is worth investing your time and money.
1. It is a Networking Point
Marketing is predominantly based on building relationships and networks of acquaintances and colleagues. The more people you know, the better it helps you to build lasting stakeholder relationships. This is one of the key objectives of FMC 2017. As we are anticipating a target group of 200 to 250 young marketers and professionals, it will undoubtedly be a great platform to get to know people who share similar interests and provide the opportunity interact under one roof.
2. It is Not another Typical Conference
Our goal is to make sure you don’t “zone out” at any given point throughout the day. Therefore, this conference will be a rather interactive discussion, giving you the opportunity to share your ideas and work together on collating insights that were provided by our reputed speakers during the conference. Also, there are more exciting events lined up to make this conference a lasting experience.
3. We Talk about what You want to Hear.
During the initial period of research for the conference, we noticed one word that kept resonating in the young marketing community. It is none other but, Enterprise. We realized that young marketers love to build their own brand and be their own boss; may it be internally (within an organisation) or externally (a personal venture). So this is exactly what our speakers will talk about in FMC 2017. Our guest speakers will provide you insights on how to “Build Beyond Basics”; and how to do it right the first time and write your own testimony.
4. Our Speakers know what they are Talking about.
Seriously! After extensive research, the student committee has come up with five experienced speakers, each of them being giants in their respective industries. Each speaker has had a humble start and gradually ascended to be who and what they are today. All speakers are geared up to share their knowledge, experiences and valuable insights to top-up your knowledge bank. So get ready to be inspired!
5. The Value for Money
Here’s a suggestion: how about spending a Saturday getting inspired by success stories of industry experts and thereafter being encouraged to start-up something new. I am talking about some serious brand building initiatives.
Furthermore, engaging and interacting with young marketers as well as professionals who share similar goals as you, of building their own brand.
It doesn’t end there. To top it up, how about an extravagant lunch buffet with a couple of tea breaks to keep you motivated, refreshed and rejuvenated throughout the course of the conference? Well, these are some of the perks of being a part of the CIM Future Marketers’ Conference 2017. This irresistible offer is provided at Rs.3,500 for CIM students and Rs.4,500 for non-CIM members.
So the wait is over, block your diary, save the date and we hope to see you at The Eagle, Waters Edge, on Saturday, 21 October 2017. Be a part of our journey and follow the online event for more details and updates as well as sneak peeks into our speakers:
Be inspired, take the first step, do it right the first time and write your own success story.
