More than 200 delegates have registered for the Marketing Kingdom Baku, Azerbaijan's first ever global marketing event, taking place on April 4-5 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Baku.

The event organized by the Dubai based company P World and Azercell Telecom as platinum sponsor features two days of interactive presentations by some of the world's biggest marketing experts including senior marketing directors from the London Olympics, Lego Group, SAP, Novartis, Coca Cola Hellenic, Yahoo!, etc.

"We are very happy with the response from the Azerbaijani marketing community and we are confident that the Marketing Kingdom Baku will help the local marketers build a profitable marketing strategy. We are currently working very hard with our speakers and partners from Azercell and Pasha Bank to create an event that will put Azerbaijan on the map as the regional marketing center. The fact that we have more than 200 registered delegates and we still have one and a half month to go, promises to make the Marketing Kingdom Baku one of the country's biggest business events this year. We urge those interested that are not registered to do so as soon as possible," says Kosta Petrov, global CEO of P World.

The Marketing Kingdom Baku will kick off with a presentation by the Marketing Director of London Olympics on the importance of marketing in today's economy. During the two days, those lucky to attend will also be able to participate to sessions and workshops on advertising trends by Marvin Liao from Yahoo!, engaging your customers online by Lars Siberbauer from Lego Group as well as presentations on marketing research, community engagement and PR by Microsoft, SAP and Coca Cola Hellenic.

Events like these can really make a huge difference when it comes to creating global marketing strategies," says Greg Nugent, Marketing Director at the London Olympics and the keynote speaker at the Marketing Kingdom Baku.
