Description Building on the knowledge and know-how of Professor Phillip Kotler, the father of modern marketing, an international group of marketing all-stars will be brought together again, aspiring to make a better world through marketing.

From Japan, we have invited renowned business leaders who believe in the power of marketing and innovation to make a positive change.

As last year, when the World Marketing Summit was held in Tokyo with more than 30 speakers and 2,500 attendees, this year’s WMS represents a major event in the world of Marketing.

Dramatic changes in society caused by the digital revolution, including social media and big data, have created new opportunities and unique challenges which Japan as a modern developed country needs to address. Presentations and discussions over the two days will cover new marketing trends aimed at building a new sense of dynamism amongst Japanese companies.

For the first time this year, in addition to the main program, four interactive sessions will be offered to give attendees an opportunity to listen in a smaller format. Interactive sessions held by Professors Kotler, Kevin lane Keller and Don Schultz will cover topics such as Branding, 21st Century Marketing Models and Social Marketing with an opportunity at the end to ask questions.

Don’t miss the chance to personally interact with some of the greatest minds in Marketing!
