Join Terry O'Reilly as he talks about the best brand stories in the world, how they are created, how they are nurtured, how brand stories have launched new products, how they maintain mature brands, and how your customers situate themselves right in the middle of a great brand story if it's created with them in mind.
Doors open at 7 PM, and Terry will begin speaking at 7:30 PM. Following a brief intermission, Terry O'Reilly will field questions from our distinguished mediator, Jerry Wasserman and the audience. We are so excited to have Mr. O'Reilly in our midst that we have decided to shape up our etiquette game. Stay tuned as we include you in our transformation...
