ADVANCED EXECUTIVES - April 27 (Best Rates Expire April 20)
TOPIC: "The Meaning of Life"
SPEAKER: Dr. Robbie Blinkoff, anthropologist, ethnographer and founder of Context-Based Research Group.
Dr. Blinkoff founded Context Research in 1999 to help marketers and advertisers use the tools of cultural anthropologists in understanding the basic drives that motivate their customers. The success of this approach involves “going very deep with customers, understanding where meaning lies in their lives, and using that knowledge to make something happen.” This session promises to be a challenging exploration of the basic motivations of our philanthropic nature and culture.

TIME: 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. (Networking breakfast begins at 8:00 a.m.)
