About The Summit
Mutual symbiosis. Sounds like scientist talk, right? Well, it is. It's a fancy way to say "win-win situation."
Today, mutualism is the name of the online game. Thanks to forums, blogs and social networks, web marketers and users can feed off—and into—one another's worlds like never before. It's cheap, deep communication. And everyone stands to gain.
In this spirit, MIMA welcomes you to the FEED. Our media channel. Get the best of what's out there in one spot. Local. National. Worldwide. All right here, right now.
Learn more about the FEED, and how to connect better, faster, smarter at the 2008 MIMA Summit. Top-notch speakers. Smart conversation. It's going to be big.

About MIMA
Founded in 1998, the Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association (MIMA) is a networking and professional development forum for interactive marketing professionals.
At MIMA, we connect, educate and partner with our members and guests to elevate the quality of interactive marketing practiced here and around the country. Our salons, seminars and annual Summit showcase speakers and topics that not only have practical relevance for our daily work, but also inspire and motivate on a higher level.
That said, we're not your average, gotta-have-something-on-my-resume club. We keep it real with events that challenge the status quo. We bring the interactive community together over issues that matter.
