Would your organisation be interested in running an Executive Briefing at a future SMi event?

Executive Briefings are interactive one- or half-day sessions which are attached to a specific conference and are run, on average with between 5 and 10 delegates, to explore a highly-focussed and niche aspect of the overall topic. Running an SMi workshop guarantees you one-to-one access with executives who have actively expressed a keen interest in the subject matter, giving you an excellent opportunity to promote your organisation to your target market. In addition, your company logo and promotional information appears on all SMi marketing brochures and web site. If you are interested in running an executive briefing or speaking at a conference, please contact SMi on +44 (0) 870 9090 711; client_services@smi-online.co.uk
