The Visual Media Conference returns to The Rose Bowl in Leeds on 31 March with another line-up of leading UK and international speakers. The conference is being staged by CDi Yorkshire and seeks to address the variety of emerging and existing communication channels and methods which are increasingly challenging businesses but also offer significant new opportunities.
The conference will explore the latest trends in marketing and seek to identify which areas of marketing spend are performing best by determining how to best target your message and how to choose the most appropriate channels.
In addition to contemporary best practice marketing methods, related topics will consider retail trends and consumer psychology.
