Brand Management Committee

The 2009 ANA brand conference was themed "Brand Building in Tough Times & Beyond."  The conference promised that "All speakers will be asked to leave behind actionable ideas for both immediate and longer-term brand growth. You'll leave the day with at least a dozen brand-building ideas and inspirational tactics to engage with consumers."
