In this issue, cbsi's Ken Kraetzer shares his stories from several industry and leadership events, a highlight being the Direct Marketing Club of New York's (DMCNY) Women in Leadership Conference in New York.

It's fall and the conference season is in full swing with cbsi attending several industry events, talking with clients, prospects and many friends. Some of the highlights from interviews include:

  • The DMCNY held a terrific early summer event in Manhattan on "Digital Transformation" where we sat down with Alan Shulman of Deloitte Digital to take his perspective formed from years of experience. 
  • The summer gave us a chance to sit down with Corporate Communications expert Tom Meriam and Subscription Marketing pro, Jim Fosina.
  • In September the DMCNY began their fall event with a discussion of “Women in Leadership”, moderated by Stacey Hawes, President, Data Practice at Epsilon.
  • Also in September, cbsi attended the Professional Association for Customer Engagement (PACE) event in Washington, D.C. There we spoke with PACE Chairwoman, Lori Fentem, and many other participants.  

Thanks!
