The Lead Generation World Conference, scheduled for January 5-7, 2025, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, is one of the largest marketing conferences in the industry.

By inviting FMU students, we aim to raise awareness about the diverse career paths in lead generation and help them build a foundation of industry knowledge and connections that will support their future success.”

As part of this experience, FMU students will also participate in the BiPM Summit, where sessions on personal development and cultural understanding will help cultivate well-rounded, empathetic, and culturally aware professionals poised to excel in marketing.

Sean-Reed McGee, Chairman of Blacks in Performance, added, “The steering committee of BiPM is so proud to be working with LGW to foster diversity in the industry and to continue those efforts with local college students—the next generation of marketers.”

During the three-day conference, FMU students will gain hands-on exposure to various facets of performance marketing, including:
– Immersing themselves in the professional atmosphere of the conference halls
