symposium  (sim-poh-zee-uhm)

1.  a conference or meeting to discuss a particular subject.
2.  a collection of essays or papers on a particular subject by a number of contributors.
3.  a drinking party or convivial discussion, especially as held in ancient Greece after a banquet (and notable as the title of a work by Plato).

Join us for the inaugural Mather Symposium where thought leaders and experienced professionals will come together to exchange ideas, showcase best practices and share insights on ways to navigate the new realities of the customer driven media marketplace.

Be sure to register early, as space is limited. Symposium registration includes a welcome reception on Sunday evening, access to all Symposium keynote and joint sessions and participation in your choice of four different breakout sessions across our Strategy and Operations tracks. Breakfast and lunch meals are also included. In addition, Symposium attendees will be able to participate in our Monday evening behind-the-scenes CNN tour for an incremental fee of only $30.

Interested in a pre-Symposium round of golf on Sunday? For an additional $150 fee, attendees can participate in a golf outing at Dunwoody Country Club beginning at 12:00pm, which will conclude just prior to the welcome reception on Sunday evening.
