What Lies Beneath — Unveiling the Hidden Customer Journey

Meeting Room 2, Level 2

The consumer’s path-to-purchase is changing rapidly. 84% of marketers lack insights into buying behavior on third-party eCommerce sites. The majority of purchases are now happening away from brand sites and across multiple eCommerce and retail domains—from Amazon to Walmart.com to Macys.com. These sites act as walled gardens, holding consumer behavioral data for themselves. In this session, Michael Perlman, Chief Revenue Officer at Jumpshot will discuss the competitive state of eCommerce marketplaces, how to assess competition from private labels, and the rise of Amazon’s product search.

Using AI and Blockchain to Monetize the Digital Economy

Consumers create a data trail by tapping their phones; businesses can tap into this trail to harness the power of the three trillion dollar mobile economy. This two-way exchange benefits both customers and businesses. In this talk, Dr. Ghose will discuss how Blockchain and AI are being used by global firms to monetize the digital economy. Drawing on his extensive research and consulting with companies including Apple, Alibaba, China Mobile, Facebook, Microsoft, Snapchat, South Korea Telecom, Telefónica, Samsung, and Travelocity, he will describe some intriguingly contradictory consumer behavior; consumers find advertising annoying, but they fear missing out; they value their privacy, but they use personal data as currency. In a world of AI and Blockchain, the potential for monetizing the digital economy from the reduction of ad fraud, billing reconciliation and increased data transparency is massive.

5G: The First True Mobile Marketing Platform

Meeting Room 2, Level 2

As Technical Assistant to Intel’s legendary Andy Grove, Julie Coppernoll got an in-depth education on his concept of Strategic Inflection Points – those rare but decisive periods of momentous transition for companies, sectors or industry that offer great opportunity but also require new ways of thinking. Today, Coppernoll is convinced 5G will prove to be a classic inflection point for Mobile Marketing. For while the adoption of 5G will transform countless industries – not to mention our everyday lives – many of its greatest impacts will be felt in the experiences we create, share and consume for life on the move. It will require a multi-year transition, but 5G will finally deliver on the most tantalizing promises of our connected world: from Location Based Services that offer real value, to amazing VR and AR experiences, to truly connected and autonomous vehicles. 5G is the technology Mobile Marketing has been waiting for. And the wait is almost over.
