trends in new media luncheon at optsum 2010
DESCRIPTION
I was on a panel with Mike Whaling and Jun Loyaza at the Optimization summit. We had a very interesting discussion and a lot of fun with audience questions including a dating app discussion. The Luncheon took a look at the most powerful changes and opportunities driving and shaping the direction and growth of this dynamic realm—in both the near and long-term future. You’ll get a first-hand and far-reaching look at the New Media landscape; hear about the hottest changes happening now and how to capitalize on them; get clued in to important opportunities that are about to emerge; and walk away with insider knowledge that will help you position your company years ahead of the competition.TRANSCRIPT
