The Executive Perspectives Business Roundtable event hosted by the Ascend CT/Westchester chapter on June 4th at UConn Stamford was a big success. This was the second executive business roundtable since its launch in 2011, and is the marquee event for the Ascend CT/Westchester chapter.

More than 125 professionals and students from 32 firms and 3 universities attended the roundtable event, sponsored by GE Capital and PepsiCo. The discussion was followed by a networking reception, which provided a great networking opportunity for attendees over drinks and savory Asian appetizers. 

The panel of senior marketing executives from Accenture, Diageo, GE, PepsiCo and Yale University shared their insights on branding, digital marketing and social media. They shared their perspectives on the rise of digital media, changing consumer habits, the evolution of branding in a digital age and the value of social media.  

The chapter is soliciting feedback on the event from the attendees. To provide feedback please click here.
