America is undergoing a tremendous cultural shift.  Hispanics, Asians, African Americans, Middle-Easterners and Eastern Europeans are forming an increasingly important part of our nation.  The recent immigrant populations--unlike prior waves of immigration--are embracing and retaining many of their cultural attributes, requiring marketers to address them in a special way.  Most corporations are convinced they must act quickly to capture these opportunities. The questions are, exactly what action is necessary to better-serve these rapidly growing populations and how can a corporation garner its fair share of this record-breaking growth?   The sixth annual Multicultural Market Intelligence Summit brings together the state-of-the art in geo-demographics, analytics, visualization and best practices across industries.  Learn from experts in leading corporations and research firms and contribute your own insights.  Be a part of this milestone event, where you can interchange ideas with colleagues who want to make sure they are at the forefront of this transformation. This is unlike any event you might have ever attended or heard of...this is THE event on Multicultural Market Intelligence.
