POST CONFERENCE DEBRIEF


CEN Eighth Annual Fall Conference

Hilton Head, SC

"The Leader's Role in High Growth & Profitable Marketing Innovation"

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Christie Nordhielm

Professor, Ross School of Business, The University of Michigan

Message from our President & CEO

Based upon the comments found here, our 2005 Innovation Conference will go down as one of our best. I think the strength of this Conference was that there seemed to be something for everyone.

I know one of my personal highlights (in addition to Christie and Eric) were our member presentations from Tracy Bilbrough and James Bergeron. Considering this is not the “day job” for either of these CEO’s, I thought that each made outstanding, in-depth presentations. Moreover, each did an exceptional job of demonstrating the real world “how to’s” of successful innovation.

CEN again salutes its 2005 Innovation Award winners!

Best regards,
