It is now less than 6 weeks to the inaugural Smarter Business Tech LIVE event, which will be held in Manchester on 15 and 16 November.

Smarter Business Tech LIVE will be the largest business technology EXPO for the North and Midlands.  Ian Stone, who is organising the event said, "In today's technology-fueled, hyper-competitive business environment, SMART use of technology-based solutions across IT, Business Management, Sales & Marketing is now crucial to be competitive & achieve dynamic & sustainable growth.  We are therefore bringing together three powerful events to empower business teams to reach the next level in agility & performance.  Packed with unmissable 'intelligence', 'guidance' and 'latest tech demos' from 200+ expert contributors we promise this is not to be missed!"

CIM is headline partner of the Smarter Sales & Marketing Technology Show, providing FREE marketing advice for businesses from local Chartered Marketers, FREE careers advice for marketers using their diagnostic tool and FREE taster sessions of their qualifications in partnership with some of their Accredited Study Centres.

At 13:00 each day Imran Farooq, Managing Director of MMC Learning, will deliver a taster session on the brand new CIM Level 6 Digital Diploma in Professional Marketing.  Massiata Barro, Research Analyst at GlobalData, has just completed the Digital Strategy module of the course with MMC Learning and she said, "It has completely changed my perception and broadened my skills. I am now familiar with all the key words and I have a clear understanding of how impactful Digital can be on the success of a business".  She continued, "It has increased my confidence, utterly changed my vision and given me a better understanding of all the marketing campaigns we do internally, even though I am not directly involved.  I think it is a 'must have' as it is highly demanded on the jobs market". 

Diane Earles, Network Manager for CIM, said, "Imran will be available on the CIM stand after his session to discuss our qualifications in detail with attendees and answer any questions".  She continued, "We are looking forward to the event.  We have plenty to talk to people about, so we're sure to have a busy two days!"
