Marketing in the 21st century is essentially about customers interacting with brands. In fact, half of the most popular websites in the world are social media. The speed of evolution of the social networking phenomena, and the fundamental changes it has brought about in the consumer-marketer relationship, has caught most marketers off guard. In these new, potent social spaces, average citizens are empowered to communicate directly, and effectively, with marketers. Marketers are vividly aware of the potential damage, or good, consumer sentiment in virtual space can have on their brands, their reputations and their bottom line. This conference will address ways in which the richness of information, dialogue and consumer insight inherent in social networks can be organized and drawn upon to further our understanding of consumer interactivity with brands.

The Future TV Show North America 2008 brings together leading broadcasters, network operators, producers and channels to discuss media convergence.

This conference will provide the participants with the current trends of the CEE chemical and petrochemical industry, the latest stage of its development, business opportunities and conditions for expected future growth. It is a unique opportunity for executives to discuss recent market approach, regional strategies for growth, and future plans of both local and western players. With ongoing consolidation and unfinished privatization still having a large influence on market developments, players are at the same time fully engaged in increasing their production capacity. New (supra)regional growth strategies are being found focusing on niche markets in the highly developed countries and simultaneous expansion towards the SEE region. Meanwhile CEE producers find themselves competing more and more with their major global rivals and new competitors from the MRIC countries in fulfilling the still growing consumption demand throughout the CEE region. Next to that analysts predict a period of declining economic growth in the CEE region, making the challenge to maintain profitability even stronger. Chemical and petrochemical groups with strong international presence are feeling need to respond by revising their business strategies and/or optimizing their operating efficiency to be able to compete in a rapidly maturing market. Against the background of these current challenges, chemical and petrochemical companies are revising their strategies and are trying to create (cross regional) alliances in order to keep their market value at a high level and be ready at all times to serve existing and future clients.
