“I look forward to attending the AMA conference every year for many reasons. I know it will be a quality, affordable event. It’s worth a day away from the office to give me the latest in the world of marketing from those right on the leading edge, allowing me to be an invaluable resource to my clients.”
Lisa Olson
President, Smart Marketing
“As a new Member of the Oregon branch of the AMA, I attended the 2008 Annual Conference, "Nontraditional Marketing Goes Mainstream," unsure of what to expect. Working in the field of retirement services, "traditional" marketing to our target audience is just what one does! The conference provided me with many tools and resources for developing the contacts and networks necessary to expand my company's reach and presence. Today's seniors are increasingly technologically savvy and are exploring new avenues of social networking, so implementation of some of the "nontraditional" techniques has allowed us to reach a wider, diverse segment of the elder population and stay ahead of the curve in our industry. The AMA conference was a valuable and affordable way to make new contacts and learn from some of the very best in the field.”
Andrew Connellan
