Marketing to Millennials @ Georgia Pacific (Members Only Conference)

This event is over.

Millennials are the largest living generation and the most coveted consumer group since the Baby Boom. They're early adopters of technology, heavy users of online, social, and mobile media, and also tend to have shorter attention spans. Perhaps most importantly, millennials are also in control of the content and marketing messages they receive. Hosted by Georgia Pacific, this complimentary ANA members only conference will feature sessions from leading marketers and thought leaders who will share best practices and insights on reaching the elusive millennial audience.
