What Is the LEAD Marketing Conference?

Since 2009, the LEAD Marketing Conferences have brought together leading experts from the CPG, brand marketing, retail and consumer data professions to share insights, success stories and best practices.

LEAD is an acronym for Loyalty, Engagement, Analytics and Digital — four essential CPG disciplines where technology intersects with expert technique.

Delivered as a day-long series of online presentations, each event attracts hundreds of registrants who log on from around the world:

Testimonials from LEAD Attendees

High quality and exceeded all my expectations.

Lots of relevant information!

The content offered is unique and therefore of special value.

I enjoyed hearing how retailers are employing new technology that goes beyond the traditional retail management applications. The technology is very innovative and customer-focused.

Great content, excellent insights.

Have already recommended to others that they need to plan to attend.

Congratulations on a successful conference. Some of the speakers were quite exceptional.

One of a handful of events worthy of my time.

Very well done! GREAT content. Was impressed with the variety and the quality of presenters.

Food for thought on what we can do to improve … Can’t wait to try these out for our team.

Overall, this was a class event.

Super way of getting participation, since virtual participation was so very flexible and fits everyone’s availability and interest. Very informative. Look forward to recorded sessions to re-review. Thank you!
