Philip Kotler said, “the most important thing is to forecast where customers are moving and be in front of them”. Here’s your chance to do just that!

Whilst technology has risen rapidly to the top of the business leadership agenda in recent years; findings from this latest IBM Study see customer focus emerge as critical to future business success. Themes such as opening up to customer influence and building engaging customer experiences are now identified by many business leaders as the number one business priority.

During this Keynote, we’ll share facts and analysis that will reveal compelling insight into the steps marketers and organisations must take to capitalise on the changing role of consumers, and the evolution of customer-centric business models.

Afterwards, you can question our Expert Panel on the latest B2B trends and join our B2B Council members to network over drinks and refreshments hosted by IBM.
