Creating events across different regions brings many challenges. Brands may have their global guidelines covering identity and tone of voice but local nuances in culture and even brand perception make it hard to have a one size fits all approach. 

How can brands think global but act local? Is it possible to repurpose ideas across geographies without losing local relevancy?

This session will explore:
