The October 15 event will include the Chicago Chapter's Marketer of the Year award
CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / October 14, 2024 / AMA Chicago, the largest professional chapter in the American Marketing Association's North American network, is holding its annual CMO Forum on October 15. Billed as a night of insight and innovation, the event brings together industry leaders to explore trends, challenges, and opportunities in brand management. The evening will kick off with a presentation to reveal the AMA Chicago Marketer of the Year, an award that honors a Chicagoland marketer who is notably moving their brand forward. AMA Chicago hosts the forum each year to equip B2B, B2C, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial marketing leaders with practical advice and inspiration to keep their brands engaging and relevant.
The American Marketing Association Chicago will name their 2024 Marketer of the Year at the CMO Forum.
"The AMA Chicago Forum is a premier opportunity for the brightest minds in marketing to network, learn, and share the wisdom of their experience," says Josh Blacksmith, President of the AMA Chicago Board. "The level of enthusiasm and the quality of knowledge sharing never ceases to impress, and we look forward to another memorable evening."
The evening will begin with a networking happy hour before moving into the Chicago Marketer of the Year award presentation. Nominees must live in the Chicagoland area, regardless of where their employer is located. Submission requirements include a short narrative detailing the nominee's work from the past 12-18 months across three categories: strategy; results; and vision and leadership. Last year's winner was Chris Duncan, VP of Consumer Insights & Digital Marketing for Claire's. After the award announcement, two featured speakers will give presentations as part of the evening's agenda: Ellina Shinnick, Chief Marketing Officer for HUB International, and Maggie Schmerin, Chief Advertising Officer for United Airlines.
The CMO Forum is one of multiple annual events held by AMA Chicago. The association provides large-scale conferences that attract marketers from around the nation, smaller intimate gatherings focused on specific subjects, and both a Signature Speaker Series and a Workshop Series to help attendees keep their skills sharp. Networking is a key component of AMA Chicago's membership, and networking opportunities are available throughout the year.
CMO Forum 2024 takes place October 15 at The Dalcy, from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
