North American Track
North American Track: January 6–February 10, 2021
The North American Track of the Institute in Marketing and Communications includes four live online learning days over the course of six weeks. Each week will be led by two members of the faculty and will include 2-3 plenary sessions and the opportunity for a deep dive on the week’s theme during the cohort conversations.
Participants will also have access to the recorded content from the institute’s European Track as well as curated on-demand learning opportunities and resources including sessions from our most popular communications conferences.
Live sessions begin January 6.
