consumer are ever evolving in how they like to be surveyed, a lot of people
fall back on traditional methodologies, but is that always the best?

The Future Consumer: A 360 Degree View
- The Future of How People Live: Public transit, city
planners (future landscape), home environment, environmental factors and
impact, healthcare, values, education, workspace, travel

have a great consumer facing seat but not enough time to think about how to
engage with my retailers and I need help with that - what are they retailer
trends and retailing trends
- The Quantified Self: Wearable technology - customer
experience is at the heart of all things - the right insight that you get
will determine what you will be doing and the success
- Digital Natives

|
The Convergence of Insights & Intelligence:
Consumer, Social & Cultural
- Semiotics & Motivation Theory
- Insights Deciphered through Digital: Big push around emotional
marketing and I am wondering what comes after that - uncovering triggers and
activating behind them - a lot would be research but more understanding how
television and digital are taking insights and translating them
- Converged Intelligence: When Insights & Intelligence
Collaborate
- Leveraging Social Media to Fill the Gaps: Social media
insights and text analytics pros and cons - how do you create a social
presence and excitement - social chatter for deeper insights
|

Big Data for Analytics: Connecting the Dots for a
Holistic View
- Finding the Way in a Sea of Data: Data point tells you
what not WHY - you can make inferences but it doesn't tell you why - you can
make leaps of faith - most data is about what happened focusing on the
hindsight instead of understanding insight and foresight and how do we act
upon it - awakening and invigorating consumer curiosity
- Successful Data Integration: What big data encompasses
when it comes to businesses - how do you implement this into your business -
even if you figure out the direction you want to go in, implementation takes
a long time as does building a strategy and finding out the technical
requirements
- Tools for Digital Marketing: Very interested in learning
more because this is one of the new tools - The New Marketing - I think in a
few years most of the people are going to use the Internet to do everything
- Products that Emerge As a Result of Connecting the Big
Data Dots
- Analytics that Changes How Business was Done
|
|
Strategy & Action Planning: Data Driven Marketing
for Driving Consumer Strategy
- Big Data Improving a Consumer's Life. Insight into Big
Data - not how can it benefit us but how it can benefit the consumer and the
key is the quantified application - how your activity can be compared to
other people
- Privacy Please! Delivering solutions while protecting
consumer privacy - knowing how to target your consumer without being
intrusive
- Data Forecasts Your Relationship with Competitors: How
have you used big data to change how you have worked in comparison to your
competitors?

- We are also happy to consider topics not listed here that
you feel would add value and be appropriate.
