  <summary>&lt;p&gt;Convention:  3.22.10&#8211;3.24.10&lt;br /&gt;
    Expo: 3.22.10&#8211;3.23.10&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h3 style="margin: 8px 0 0 0;"&gt;    Succeeding in the New Normal  &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The increased complexity and its concomitant, uncertainty, in marketing today are due mostly to the absolute fact that we just can&amp;#8217;t do business the way we used to. But what do we do instead in this &amp;#8220;New Normal&amp;#8221;? ReThink 2010 will explore just that, and you will leave with ideas, insights and, even, tools that will help you succeed ... in this New Normal. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ARF&amp;#8217;s Re:think 2010 shows you how to master the New Normal in general sessions and provocative keynotes that probe top priority issues, challenge the status quo and deliver clear direction. Re:think 2010 arms you with ideas, innovations and tools to turn change into opportunity, and opportunity into winning marketing results in three insight-packed days dedicated to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/assets/rethink-10-program#22"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The New Consumer in the New Normal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Monday, March 22)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="/assets/rethink-10-program#23"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learning in the New Normal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (Tuesday, March 23)&lt;br /&gt;
