The Summits are two-day events examining the latest trends, methodologies and findings in black consumer research. Each symposium features presentations from some of the nation's leading market research providers, professionals and practitioners.

Each workbook contains more than 200 pages of information, including the charts, graphs and hard copy versions of some of the most in-depth presentations ever offered on the African-American consumer market.

You'll also get with your workbook the materials (such as booklets, brochures, and CDs) that were distributed to attendees to speakers and sponsors (subject to availability). Your research library simply will not be complete without these valuable reference sources.
