International Conference Programme Marketing 2009:
New Trends, Innovation, Marketing in a Crisis Economy and E-Marketing's New Best Practices.

The Marketing Show returns for its second conference event in South Africa on the 4th and 5th of May, 2009 following a very well received debut conference in 2008. The program welcomes the generous logistical and content support of Microsoft who hosted the conference last year and has agreed to host the event in its main Johannesburg facilities again in 2009.

The Marketing Show Conference programs runs like a tv program with short keynote style presentations, interviews, product demonstrations, short features on new developments, some outstanding speakers as well as video interviews with trend setters and newsmakers.

The speaking platform is led by host Tom Garrahan and features a mix of top international and South African marketing, media and academic thinkers who examine the compelling, innovative trends and changing strategies taking place around the world in marketing.

This year's program is focused on four key themes:

1. Key emerging marketing trends and emerging marketing strategies for today's economy and marketplace.
2. How to innovate in today's ultra-competitive, down economy
3. Key trends and emerging best practices in media, emarketing, e-commerce and digital
4. Killer insights that give marketers an advantage.

The speaker line-up features leading specialists from the U.K., U.S., Europe and South Africa offering some of the most insightful and entertaining marketing personalities around.
