Overview

The Executive Brainstorm uses a unique interactive format called ‘Mindshare’. Each section of the event involves short, specially prepared presentations (new research, case studies, use cases) to stimulate group brainstorming, which is then reviewed by a panel to inform a vote on ‘next steps’. Our expert facilitators are supported by interactive technology to enable a uniquely productive debate. Register here:

Agenda

The morning session will explore two key issues:

1. Mobile Wallets 2.0: How to stimulate mass adoption?
The smart phone is a game changer that will profoundly impact the commerce experience.

What is the best way to educate consumers on the capabilities and benefits of mobile payments?
What sorts of partnerships and collaboration in the ecosystem will help drive adoption?
Which products will best bridge the online and offline worlds of today? How can we enhance them?

2. 'Localised Commerce' 2.0: How to scale a new approach to merchant-consumer interaction?
Consumers are leveraging new digital services (social, local and mobile) to make smarter purchase decisions. Merchants are doing the same to stimulate demand and get better ROI from marketing spend.

What exactly is the market opportunity in 'localised commerce'?
What experiences will be most compelling – for merchants and consumers?
What are the winning and losing strategies for different players?
