I am eager to see how social media reacts and contributes to some of the more challenging topics discussed at KIN."

KIN's partnership with IDM Brand seems a natural next step to a long relationship: as an alumna of the Kellogg School of Management, Alannah Sandehl is excited to support the ongoing collaboration and continuing innovation at KIN Global 2016. Innovation is a central tenet of Alannah's philosophy and IDM Brand's founding principles, and is key to her professional path and success. "In 1991 I was dying to go to the Northwestern University, but being a newly arrived refugee from Ukraine, my parents could not subsidize the tuition. Flash-forward to 2016, my agency is a media sponsor of the event and I am a Kellogg Management Institute Alumni - the feeling is priceless. Cheers to innovation!"
