Volume 1 Letter From the Editor:
2012 is upon us and with no tangible signs of the Mayan apocalypse the team at The Art of... is excited to unveil our plans for the upcoming year. We will continue offering you access to some of the sharpest, most highly regarded, business minds as well as further establish ourselves as a trusted resource in the world of business.
2011 was a tremendous success and our best year thus far. With five ambitious conferences showcasing the philosophies and works of dozens of acclaimed speakers, we were able to engage a wider audience than ever before. Guy Kawasaki, former chief evangelist of Apple, enthralled us at The Art of Marketing in Toronto with his expertise on innovation. We witnessed a captivating presentation regarding leadership in the face of extreme challenges from the former Chief of Defence Staff of the Canadian Forces, General Rick Hillier, at The Art of Leadership in Calgary. New York Times bestselling author Seth Godin gave us an innovative and unique approach to succeed in today’s crowded marketplace at The Art of Sales in Toronto. Despite the broad scope of speakers showcased in 2011, we never lost focus on ensuring the quality, relevance and practicality of their messages. We are proud that your feedback was consistently positive and that our conferences continually exceeded your expectations.
With nine conferences on the horizon for 2012, including our inaugural program in the United States, The Art of Marketing in Chicago, we have been hard at work securing a roster of speakers that will continue to surprise and impress our delegates. In addition to our conferences, we will be exploring a variety of avenues to bring you pertinent business news, exclusives from our esteemed speakers and engage our community like never before. The publication you hold in your hands as well as our new website, set to launch later this year, will serve as resources that both echo the ideas presented at our conferences as well as feature unique content. Our hope is to develop an ongoing dialogue amongst our community. This will foster greater learning opportunities, facilitate networking and allow for feedback so that we can suit our offerings to fit your needs. We are excited to see how these mediums develop and grow over the upcoming year.
