• SoLoMo Redefined: Next Gen Social Local Mobile

  by Chris Messina, Jeff Rohrs, Matt Galligan and Scott Kveton

  The combination of mobile + social + local is a powerful, yet misunderstood, communication channel. When people hear about it, they often conjure up a “Minority Report” world where companies track their every move to inundate them with marketing. And so they resist. The next-generation of SoMoLo, however, will delight people by providing highly targeted, context-rich communications that keeps the control in their hands. New technologies will leverage newly accessible data gleaned from user app usage, local search results, social streams and location to speak with people on their own terms, in ways that add meaning and convenience. Panelists will share their experiences with and advice on how to leverage SoMoLo data to engage mobile users in ways that personalize content to keep consumers coming back time after time. They will review the spectrum of available channels, emerging techniques, and showcase a handful of savvy brands that are trailblazing and nailing it perfectly.

• Future of Entertainment: Viewer Becomes User

  by Jared Hecht, Kimber Myers, Mike Scogin, Paul Chang and Tom Thai

  Mobile social networking apps continue to grow in popularity, a trend that gives emerging technology companies a unique chance to partner with entertainment channels to provide audiences with an enhanced, personalized experience. Key partnerships between entertainment outlets and social apps like GetGlue and GroupMe are important for marketers to increase visibility, reach and engagement with specific audiences. The development of social networking apps give direct access to audiences who opt-in to receive exclusive content, news and special promotions. Panelists will address how audiences and brands are increasing visibility through apps and allowing audiences to transition from being simple “viewers” to actual “users” as they communicate directly with media through evolving social media platforms.

• Pocket Intelligence

  by Fritz Desir, Myriam Joire, Nick Holroyd and Reno Marioni

  The future of mobile interaction & feedback networks may not be wrapped in a mobile phone interface at all. Let’s talk about what feedback networks and invisible information gathering can mean for mobile experiences now and in the future.

  We’ll talk about:
  •Contextual feedback (imagine your phone buzzing three times when you walk up to the bus stop-indicating that a bus is three minutes away)
  •Context prompted information aggregation, (imagine your phone automatically collecting the “business cards” of all the people you meet today- whatever information they made public through their OWN network)
  •Networked complimentary functionality (imagine your mobile device automatically syncing with the ATM as an entry device, with that television in the window as a remote control, with that lock as a keypad, etc.)
