On Wednesday October 1st, about ten of TopRank’s finest will be making the trek from the Western suburbs to downtown Minneapolis for the Minnesota Interactive Marketing Association’s (MIMA) “sold out” Summit.
As in years past, MIMA Summit will take place at The Depot with a new focus on the subject of “mutualism”.
