2010 CMF Conference -- Read All About It

Today we launched the website for the 2010 Cause Marketing Forum conference to be held June 2 & 3 at the Westin Chicago River North.

Check it out at www.cmfconference.com

I hope our past attendees will agree that CMF8 combines the best aspects of our past gatherings with innovations that will make it an even richer experience for newcomers and veterans alike.

Major changes include:

More opportunities for give and take with the experts.   We've substituted "Powerful Discussion" sessions for many of our traditional lecture-style breakouts.   Attendees will be able to choose from dozens of small group sessions led by corporate, nonprofit and agency pros.

More skills-based programming.   Special sessions are offered on CM legal issues, crisis communications, social media and relationship development for nonprofits.

Opening dinner included in conference registration price.   Formerly offered "a la carte" we've incorporated this popular networking opportunity in the conference fee.  In addition to the chance to socialize, it should be quite entertaining because it will be the scene of our first CM Film Festival!

Business-only and Nonprofit-only pre- and post-conference gatherings.   The CMF conference brings all sectors together.   These workshops and summits give biz and NGO executives opportunities to speak frankly with their peers.

Take a look at www.cmfconference.com to see the impressive line-up of speakers and all the other elements that will make CMF8 our best event yet.
