    Industry Insights Speakers are the Thought-Leaders in their industry!

    Industry Insights is the only program of its kind that delivers an audience filled with entertainment marketing professionals and speakers that are seen as the "Thought-Leaders" in their industry! Carefully created to deliver the type of information that senior-level executives need to be more efficient, creative and effective in the workplace, we are looking for innovative, imaginative and dynamic speakers from brands of all shapes and sizes.


    The key to Industry Insights is our speakers. Our team has been working with over two-dozen entertainment marketers to identify the type of information they need to help them in their day-to-day jobs. A "State of the Industry" along with special insights into their industry and company are the key to the program, making the presentation format different from any other event.


  • Relationship Building: While content is key, creating and building relationships is just as important. Speakers receive great exposure with all of the attendees in an intimate, yet business-like setting.

  • Visibility: Speakers receive maximum exposure and are profiled before, during and after the events. All speakers are profiled in our print, direct mail, email and online marketing efforts.

  • Productivity and ROI: Through their presentations, speakers are provided with the opportunity to tell the entertainment community exactly what they are looking for when it comes to entertainment partnerships. Everyone benefits from a mutual understanding of needs, goals and realistic expectations. A number of successful partnerships have already come out of the first Industry Insights event held in Napa last spring.


  • Additional speaker benefits:


  • Company and speaker profiles are included in the Industry Insights Source Book, provided to each attendee.

  • Four tickets to the Breakfast at which you speak will be made available to you and your team
