Visitors to the show can use the technology to assess their skills in six areas of digital; display marketing, mobile marketing, SEO, social media, email marketing and web analytics.
“Demands on marketers have never been greater, and it’s such a challenge just to keep up with the latest innovations, trends and practices,” says Paul MacDonald, director of Marketing Week Live.
