Through its Marketers Roundtables, AMA-STL provides a unique client-side only environment for discussing marketing topics and challenges.

Hosted 2 to 3 times per year by the John Cook School of Business at St. Louis University, these luncheons bring together some of the best marketing minds in our community.

Following each session, the opinions offered are analyzed and reported in a White Paper that is published on the AMA-STL website and distributed within the marketing community to further the mission of advancing the study and practice of marketing.

The sessions are organized and recruited by Dan Diveley of Geile-Leon Marketing Communications, facilitated by Lon Zimmerman of Zimmerman Marketing Research, and the White Papers printed courtesy of Mira Digital Publishing.
