Visual Media Conference 2016

Visual Media Conference 2016

CDi Yorkshire – a special interest group of the BPIF – announces a diverse and exciting line up for the 2016 Visual Media Conference.
 
The Visual Media Conference (VMC) is a one-day event that provides a vivid insight into marketing communications. Returning to The Rose Bowl in Leeds on Tuesday 22 March, this truly innovative, inspiring and multisensory event is sure to be a sell-out.
 
Targeted at individuals in the creative, digital, print and packaging industries, the VMC aims to address the effectiveness of communication channels through discussing the construct of an integrated marketing campaign, exploring how these channels work and what works best.
 
Visual media embrace all the tools available to take the customer on a journey from awareness to purchase. The conference has gathered leading authorities in each specialism to show with powerful case studies how each element drives the journey. (See some of the speakers below.) There will be opportunities to debate, to challenge and to learn. There will also be some surprises, including a multi-sensory brand campaign that will stimulate delegates’ senses.
 
Robert McClements, Chief Executive of CDi (Creative and Digital Industries) Yorkshire, said, “There is a real sense of confidence in the creative and digital industries in the region. The sell-out success of VMC last year was swiftly followed by calls for a repeat from delegates and sponsors. In response, VMC 2016 will lift the event to a new level. CDi Yorkshire has been working to develop and promote the sector, and is emerging as the ‘go to’ organisation. It has been helping to secure funding, create more job opportunities and providing advice for the burgeoning sector.”
 
Whether you are a brand owner or a communications consultant, the VMC will expand your knowledge by providing you with a transferable toolbox to renovate your operations, speed up your projects and get ahead of the competition.
