GMN Sri Lanka will hold its inaugural conference in Colombo on May 26, World Marketing Forum 2010, designed to provide marketing and business professionals with the most current knowledge, ideas with inspiration needed to help them capitalise on new opportunities in today’s global business environment.

It will feature keynote presentations and panel discussions from marketing and business thought-leaders including Professor Svend Hollensen, author of the world’s best selling book on global marketing strategy, who will share latest research and insights in worldwide marketing practices and how to develop a successful global marketing strategy.

Global Marketing Network’s Sri Lanka Country Director, Dr. Ranjan Madanayake said, “Peace has returned after 30 years of conflict and this has heralded a new era and a new Sri Lanka.

It can now be ‘Paradise Regained’ for us and we need to utilize this opportunity for commercial and economic welfare of the nation. What Global Marketing Network brings with its global perspective is invaluable and there will be much for our marketers to achieve through being a member.”
