Description

Digital marketing has evolved rapidly. While the headlines are consumed with social media, mobile advertising, and video content, to name but a few, there is a greater force lurking that is set to change the landscape as we know it. This force is the "Internet of Things" and it is conducive to the world we are now living in.

Did you know that there are already twice as many "things" connected on the Internet than people? And by 2020, this is set to rise to 50 billion connected devices, according to Cisco. The challenge will be how to intelligently incorporate these new devices into marketing strategies, leveraging their unique characteristics, and at the same time taking into account the unique user experience.

So, please join us on Wednesday, 30 July, to hear from Mr Wolfgang Bierer, Strategic Business Consultant and Founder and CEO of ENDEAVOR SBC Co., Ltd. Wolfgang's presentation will take you on a journey exploring new technologies and discussing how marketers can incorporate these technologies in their offerings to attract new customers and keep loyal customers entertained.

Our July event is the fourth in the new FCC event format which is designed to give members more opportunities to network, greater time flexibility, and better value for money. The significant change is that the speaker will present at the start of the event and dinner and networking will take place after.
