Meet the Global Leaders - A Five Country Overview

3:00 p.m. - 4:15 p.m.

A traditional session at the DMA, designed both as a meeting place and a learning place, three to four leaders in the industry from other countries discuss specific aspects of their expertise and their countries. Speakers in the past have included presidents and vice presidents of the DMAs of Australia, Canada, Portugal, New Zealand, Argentina, Malaysia, Singapore, FEDMA, China, Brazil, and Argentina. Many of these are volunteer leaders, and thus industry professionals with unique knowledge of their countries. Speakers will be announced nearer the dates of DMA08 as we learn who is able to attend.
