This season the North region of The Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) is putting on a road show of events promoting everything we have to offer in developing your career and your business. There will be presentations from members to inspire, study centres and recruiters to advise, and staff from The Institute on hand to guide you.
It will be taking place at Manchester Business School on 1st September 2009 to help you get a head start in your own race for success.
If you cannot attend on the 1 September 2009 look out for Durham (North East) on the 2 September 2009 and Sheffield (Yorkshire) on the 3 September 2009.
Speaker sessions:
17:00 Case Study: How the CIM has helped me - Vanda Murray OBE FCIM.
From studying with CIM to the present day as a fellow of The Institute, Vanda will talk about her career to date. With learning along the way and fascinating insights, this presentation will show how far your relationship with CIM can take you.
Come and be inspired by one of the top marketing professionals in the North West!
18:00 Introduction to the new CIM qualifications syllabus - John Little MCIM, Regional Education Manager.
Our marketing and sales qualifications are taught by some of the best minds in global marketing and driven by what's happening in the industry: 95% of UK employers see ours as the marketing qualification to attain.
John will talk you through the qualifications suite, in particular the new syllabus for September 2009.
So, if you are serious about getting on, think seriously about getting a CIM qualification.
19:00 The Upturn: my part in its rise - Andy Green ACIM.
Each of us is a potential green shoot for the economic recovery.
In the age of disruption, where no one knows what is going to happen next, the only certainty you have is yourself; your own capabilities and creative thinking - your resourcefulness.
You need to think and act differently at a time when changes are being thrust upon you. The tough don't need to just get going. They need to get going faster.
Leading creativity expert Andy Green in his new book and talk, 'The upturn: my part in its rise' provides an entertaining, inspirational yet practical session to inspire marketers, enable them to be more resourceful, spot opportunities, overcome negatives and harness potential positives, including what Andy calls 'golden swans'.
All the stands will be available to visit from 16:00 until 20:00.
Look out for a full listing of recruiters and study centres attending at www.cim.co.uk/events. This is a free event.
Venue: Manchester Business School, Booth Street East, Manchester, M15 6PB
