Mercadexpo, the Dominican Republic’s traditional Marketing Congress debuts this year with a renovated format.
An annual event sponsored by the Universidad Iberoamericana for professionals in the field, offering seminars, workshops and conferences given by international experts.
The event will be held simultaneously from 20 to 22 November in both the Santo Domingo and Cap Cana campus of this prestigious university.
Since 1991, UNIBE has conducted this recognized annual conference where market trends are discussed and analyzed with the purpose of challenging its last year students to demonstrate their ability to apply their acquired knowledge.
A large number of Dominican and multinational companies operating in the country take part in this event to exhibit their products and services, as well as their most innovative marketing practices.
Blended marketing will be this year’s theme. This technique combines online marketing strategies with more traditional offline marketing practices.
By implementing this technique, businesses can take advantage of the tools available to reach a greater amount of recipients in order to achieve the greatest impact.
