The CMA Café, presented by Mastercard, is an excellent opportunity for marketing leaders to expand their network and participate in an open, roundtable discussion with other marketing leaders.
Events feature a CMO or marketing leader who will host a breakfast event (an “Office Hour”) at her or his office with a curated group of up to 10 marketing leaders. Attendees will engage in a roundtable discussion on a current topic and includes aspirational messages from the host about their career journey.
The Ten Thousand Coffees networking and mentoring platform, a Canadian business success story, is being leveraged to fulfill the delivery of both attendee and host experiences via an intuitive and easy-to-use platform.
This initiative builds on the success of our highly-attended CMAideas Executive Event Series, which continues in 2020.
