BCAMA's 2017 VISION Conference Promises to Spark Innovation in Brands, Business and Marketers in Vancouver


VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - February 09, 2017) - For the 27th year, the BC Chapter of the American Marketing Association (BCAMA) is excited to bring its annual marketing conference to Vancouver. The VISION Conference returns on April 4, 2017 at the BMO Theatre Centre, in Vancouver. Focused on the planning and creative thinking that is now required to achieve innovative outcomes, the Conference is a one day, thought leadership and interactive learning event.

"Innovative products and services are like the proverbial iceberg," said Andrew Sharpe, President-Elect of the BCAMA. "The vast majority of what it took to bring it to life is below the surface, in the form of creative exploration and thinking from a different perspective."

This year marks a milestone in the city: the creation of an entire conference dedicated to the art and science of marketing innovation. With innovation being the buzzword in Vancouver's exploding startup scene, the conference is at the intersection of strategic planning and open-minded exploration -- that ultimately results in visionary outcomes. It will provide an overview of what the future might hold and prepare individuals and organizations to adapt to a culture of innovative thinking by adhering to specific procedures and letting go of existing paradigms for doing things.

"It's one thing to be aware of what the future might have in store, but it's a whole other thing to know how to use this knowledge to create the innovations of tomorrow. This type of future-forward thinking is what the VISION Conference is all about. It's the 'aha' that precedes the 'ta-dah,'" Sharpe elaborated.

Conference registration is now open. To take advantage of early bird pricing and save up to $100, register before Feb 19, 2017. For more information on the VISION Conference, confirmed speakers, agenda and registration, visit https://goo.gl/OIUf7Q or call 604-564-1AMA.
