Well, it turns out that our hunch was right. As of last count on Friday, our inaugural Challenger Brand Summit, set for this Wednesday and Thursday in New York, has almost 500 registered attendees. For an entirely new franchise that sprung organically from the reintroduction of Brandweek last fall to have drawn so much interest in a market saturated with industry events is nothing short of astounding. It also shows that the challenger brand movement is powerful and a real marketplace phenomenon.

Expertly programmed by Adweek editor and svp of programming Lisa Granatstein, in close partnership with Danny Wright, Adweek’s managing partner, events, awards and honors, and his crack events team, the agenda is packed with execs redefining the meaning of brand marketing and challenging conventions at every turn.
