I am extremely excited about the agenda for this year’s BRITE ’13 conference, which I will be hosting in New York at Columbia Business School, on March 4-5, 2013.
I hope you can join us. This is our 6th conference since I started BRITE, and we have a terrific lineup of business leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs, all examining how mobile technology, social media, and cultural trends are re-shaping the way we build great brands.
You can read the full agenda here. (I will be premiering results of a new research study and sharing thoughts from my next book project.)
Speakers will include:

Now in its 6th year, BRITE ’13 will bring together 400 leaders from business, technology, and new media. BRITE offers a different blend of thinkers and doers, both onstage and off, than you will find at any other event. Participants come to think differently about the changing landscape of branding, media, and technology, and to connect with a unique group of innovators, marketers, and entrepreneurs.
I hope you can join us March 4-5!
