NEW YORK Although marketers are getting more tech savvy, it seems they still have a soft spot for good old-fashioned event marketing.

The EventView 2009 survey, which was completed earlier this month by George P. Johnson, The MPI Foundation and the Event Marketing Institute, includes a healthy swath (41 percent) of marketers whose companies pull in revenue in excess of $1 billion.
