The mobile landscape is as broad and varied as any landscape that businesses have ever been challenged with supporting - arguably, even larger. So how do we begin to navigate these unchartered waters to begin to create a mobile strategy that fits our business? In this discussion, we'll explore some of the major "cultures" (platforms) in terms of their populations (market share and demographics), customs (behaviors, habits and expectations), governances, user interfaces, and belief systems in order to assist in creating an effective mobile development strategy. We'll also provide concrete development recommendations that businesses can begin implementing today.
85% of American adults have a mobile phone – mobile web users will outnumber PC web users by 2012. The explosive growth of the mobile device market has created new opportunities for marketers to reach potential customers, but so many still don’t take advantage of mobile.
In this presentation, you’ll learn how to successfully integrate mobile into your existing marketing campaigns to extend their reach, improve their effectiveness, and increase their ROI. We’ll discuss search and display advertising, SMS, QR codes and location based services and how they can integrate with online and offline marketing campaigns.
QR Codes and Mobile Tags leverage the capabilities of smart phones to dazzle your audience with videos and interactivity straight from your marketing collateral. QR codes are used by brands, organizations, universities, museums and even municipalities as a quick and easy connection to their online message. Stand out with fun and innovative online offerings!

It used to be that getting in the head of your customer and delivering the relevant content was enough. Content has traditionally been viewed as king, but mobile introduces another, perhaps more important, dynamic to the ecosystem—context. Delivering the right content at the right moment to facilitate the desired action is the new Holy Grail for business.
We examine how to integrate GPS and other mobile capabilities into a multi-channel experience that includes apps and mobile web. We also explore the emerging mobile ecosystem, such as what marketers should do if all devices become smartphones, what about NFC, etc?
High degrees of uncertainty mirror in both silicon valley and the entertainment industry. Will my app be downloaded? Will my song reach a high position on iTunes? Interestingly, and surprisingly enough there are lessons in both to be captured. Is the music business and silicon valley “brothers from another mother?” We’ll explore these ideas and more with Music Technologist @professordaddyo, Founder of Stetsasonic and Open Source Recordings.

Post PC is an era of computing that takes the PC off its pedestal. Though this shift isn’t restricted to mobile devices and tablets, they are spearheading this wave of change as they shift consumer expectations. These devices will be key to amplifying emerging marketing trends. Not only have smartphones and tablets brought mobile to the forefront of strategists’ minds, but we are seeing them applied to enhance traditional media by making it interactive and engaging. By linking mobile devices to TV and print through technologies like audiotagging and visual search, participants have more options for interacting, leading to true three screen experiences.

Augmented Reality, or AR, is one of the most amazing new consumer technologies in recent years. Your mobile device or computer screen can show you an actual photo or live scene – then AR adds additional images, video and information to enhance the reality you already see. Some describe it as the intersection of the Internet and the “Outernet.” Unlike old-fashioned virtual reality, it uses the screen at hand instead of awkward helmets and attachments. The ability to merge media into real life environments raises tremendous potential for entertainment, gaming, work, training and education. We’ll look at its current and future uses, including some of the newest applications by Atlantans working in this area. We’ll also examine obstacles that need to be overcome before it becomes commonplace.
