Stellar agenda

Among the topics and speakers:
- Mobile Future Forward: Connected Universe. Unlimited Opportunities.
The DNA (Devices, Network, and Applications) of the mobile ecosystem is changing. What opportunities will emerge during the course of this decade? Where are the new billion dollar markets?
Steve Mollenkopf, EVP and Group President, Qualcomm
- Disruption is in the Air
Disruption is the fundamental tenet of progress. Whether it is the technologies, the business models, the players or the alliances, disruptive forces are essential in making things better for the consumer and the larger ecosystem. Is 4G a game change? What does the wholesale business model do to the data economics? Is the halving of the device lifecycle good or bad?
Sanjiv Ahuja, CEO, LightSquared
Jason MacKenzie, President, HTC Americas
- Playing in the N-Screen Media World
The number of connected devices per user is steadily increasing. Some users have 10-20 connected screens in the household and the number is only going to increase. How does product and service design leverage this phenomenon? How do monetization strategies change? What are user experience and pricing expectations? How does the value shift between the players?
Paul Palmieri, CEO and Cofounder, Millennial Media
Charlie Herrin, EVP – Technology and Products, Comcast
Jeremiah Zinn, EVP – Digital Products, MTV Networks
Eric Anderson, VP – Content and Product Solutions, Samsung
Frank Barbieri, SVP – Emerging Platforms, YuMe (moderator)
- Monetizing the Mobile Network
Traditionally, there has been a direct correlation between the mobile network usage and revenue/profits. However, the significant mobile data consumption, lack of adequate spectrum, ecosystem disruption by the Internet players, and the changing of the consumer expectations have provided the opportunity for operators to rethink how they look at their network from a technology perspective but more importantly from a monetization angle. How will operator grow their revenue base beyond measuring the bits and bytes?
Ken Denman, CEO, Openwave (moderator)
Kris Rinne, SVP – Network and Architecture, AT&T Mobility
Janet Schijns, VP – Business Solutions Group, Verizon Wireless
Mathew Oommen, President, Reliance Industries
- Mobile Commerce & Payments
Mobile is fundamentally reshaping how consumers spend. How are the various players preparing for the new world of mobile commerce and payments? NFC has been around for some time but will it really help in moving the money around? Will the killer NFC application be commerce, payments, advertising, loyalty programs, or something else?
David Messenger, EVP and Head of Online/Mobile, American Express Company
Gibu Thomas, EVP – Online/Mobile, WalMart
Dale Nitschke, former President, Target
- Mobile Big Data: The Next Frontier for Innovation, Competition, and Opportunities
Data is everywhere. Mobile Cloud is Booming. Data is driving Knowledge. Having the best knowledge about the user to help drive transaction is simply the most valuable currency of commerce. With so much data being generated, how do we efficiently sift through it and make sense to enable engagement and commerce in a fraction of a millisecond? What is data teaching us about the consumer behavior, future product design, and the competitive landscape? What are the implications for consumer privacy and data security?
Braxton Woodham, Head of Engineering, AVOS
Joe Megibow, VP and GM – Mobile and Analytics, Expedia
Hank Skorny, Chief Strategy Officer, Real Networks
Jay Emmett, GM, OpenMarket, SVP, Amdocs
Ramneek Bhasin, GM and VP, TheFind
