MARS (Marketing, Advertising, Retail and Sales) Mix is a conference that brings together students and professionals from all perspectives of Marketing, Advertising, Retail and Sales to provide mutually enlightening experiences. It is one of DeGroote’s biggest and newest conferences. This marketing conference compliments classroom learning; presenting real world insights from experts. It enables learning and networking in an exciting new form that fosters new relationships as we bridge the school-industry gap.

Theme: Empire state of product

In an increasingly strategic and scheme-screaming business environment, creating a well-built empire of products is the most essential stage of a marketing process. As more products enter the marketplace and flood our senses with a bundle of messages, we are in an overload state of mind of translating and visually categorizing each item.

The DMA chose the product related theme because without a solid frontier of products to master the marketplace, no marketing or advertising would be required!

Speakers: Product masters

Tangible or not, the products showcased at MARS Mix are the kings of their markets. They are bold and powerful, dominating the marketplace with their wonder and awe. Speakers from Ice Syrup, Microsoft, Flight Network, McDonalds, GM and Kraft will showcase their challenges, successes and ultimately the tools that are necessary to stay ahead of the power hungry competition.

Delegates: Keen producers of the future

MARS Mix brings together some of the brightest marketing students from universities across Ontario to learn from some of the most influential thought-leaders. MARS Mix is a place to show your passion for marketing, advertise yourself, and share your own insights with other students and professionals. The business challenge during the conference tests your creativity and innovation, giving you the skills that are needed to one day give our sponsoring companies a run for their money. Stick around to show face at our Mixer after the conference to continue building your network with new acquaintances, potential colleagues, possible recruiters, thought-leaders, and sponsor representatives.
