• Discuss mobile trends and disruptive mobile technologies
• Share strategies and tools to create a compelling customer experience through personalization, data analytics, digital wallets, geo-fencing and beacon technology
• Analyze how mobile can be leveraged to improve the omni-channel experience at various touch points
• Have prequalified one-to-one meetings with solution providers you want to learn from
• Participate in interactive workshops, roundtables and think tanks
• Attend networking meals, social events and receptions
We provide custom-made content and arranged networking that will set you up for success: Our mission is to make your job easier.
