Welcome,

This is it!

A month from now, IMPACT15 will be behind us, and we will once again walk away energized by the experience, new friendships, powerful business opportunities, and a fresh understanding of what is driving innovation in digital marketing and beyond.

We have a number of exciting and thought provoking surveys out this month through The IMA Research Lab. The results will be presented in exclusivity during the conference so I invite you to take part. Our line up of guests, speakers and facilitators is nothing short of exceptional, and we can proudly say that no other marketing conference can assemble such an incredible group of leaders. Take a look at impact15.org, and if you haven't already, register here. Rooms are going fast.

Happy readings.

Sincerely,

Patrick Boulard
