MCEI Seattle - Marketing Communications Executives International

Marketing Communications Executives International, Seattle Chapter

The Seattle Chapter of Marketing Communications Executives International (MCEI) was formed in 1979 as part of a worldwide organization. In Seattle, MCEI is a unique group senior marketing communications professionals who participate by invitation only.

On the second Wednesday of each month, Seattle MCEI holds a dinner meeting with a distinguished marketing presenter.

The purpose of MCEI is to provide marketing communications professionals the opportunity to hear about and participate in a forum on a timely marketing topic of interest and value to members of the group.

The objective of each dinner meeting is to hear a "behind the scenes" perspective and high-level industry marketing insight.

Monthly speakers are asked to hold their remarks to 35 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Speakers are selected who can convey provocative ideas, positions and concepts, including controversial topics.

As one of the area's oldest and most respected professional groups, Seattle MCEI is a premiere forum where members and their guests can hear compelling ways of solving new or old marketing challenges.
