The Level Up marketing communications event is set for Winnipeg, Man.

The inaugural conference will be held Nov. 1 to 2 in conjunction with the Canadian Agri-Food Marketers Alliance (CAMA) event featuring learning opportunities and networking.

Conference chair Susan Groeneveld said it’s an opportunity for marketers to accelerate their skills.

“No one person or company is an expert in this ever-changing landscape of new technologies and marketing channels, so why not bring everyone together for an exclusive opportunity to reach the next level?” she said. “This is a best-in-class event that will inspire attendees to level up every aspect of their professional goals, networks, and achievements.”

Speakers include Shane Thomas, the author of UpStream, Kristjan Hebert of Hebert Grain Ventures, and Jed Schneiderman, digital marketing expert and country manager for Jebbit.
