 18th International Brand Design Conference
May 17-19, 2006
Marriott Chateau Champlain
Montréal, Québec, Canada
Conference Chair: Thomas Lockwood, President, DMI
Conference Co-Chair: Jeannette Hanna, VP, Brand Strategy, Spencer Francey Peters, Inc.
Capturing real value by brand and design today depends upon creating meaningful customer experiences. As the expectation for products and services shifts from standardized to customized and beyond simply functional to more emotional appeal, it has never been more important for brand and design managers to understand, integrate and expand our leadership roles in customer experience.
This year DMI’s 18th Annual International Brand Design Conference brings together industry leaders, practitioners, educators and authors representing key brand customer touch points – from shopping mall design to product packaging, store design to shopping online, user interface design to event experiences.
The outcome: sharing ideas and practical solutions to create synergy and relevancy across disciplines, across media, across segments, and across geographies to improve customer satisfaction. We invite you to join us for the ultimate experience this year in Montréal.
