This year’s theme is ‘The Astute Marketer: Reshaping the Future of Business in Africa’. At the backbone of this topic is the recognition that African marketers, like those globally are needing to adapt to the many changes resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and this AMC Conference is an ideal platform for like-minded professionals to meet and share expertise and knowledge.
“Our chosen theme also recognises this bright new era as it reflects the growing importance of the African continent on the international economic stage and the urgent need to review and reshape the pre-Covid dynamic,” says AMC President, Helen McIntee.
Reconnecting, garnering insights and changing the narrative
“This conference is about reconnecting, garnering insights and changing the narrative. It is a not-to-be-missed event for all marketers who wish to network, upskill and share with like-minded marketing professionals.”
AMC Secretary General and MAZ Executive Secretary, Gillian Rusike, says the gathering is an important development in the history of Zimbabwe and he encourages all stakeholders to ensure their marketing personnel are part of the conference.
He is confident that this pan-Africa gathering will also be a feather in the cap of ‘Brand Zimbabwe’.
The conference will be officially opened tomorrow (20 October) by the Honourable Monica Mutsvangwa, Zimbabwe’s Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services who is also the Patron of MAZ. In a pre-conference statement, she said the government was delighted that bringing the Inaugural AMC Marketing Conference 2022 to Zimbabwe would support the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) Industry initiative being driven by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA).
The conference boasts a lineup of highly experienced and knowledgeable speakers. Among them:
