Seminars
Some highlights of the seminars that took place on the Professional Development and Innovation Pavilion at IMEX 2011 include: 'A Master Class in Blending Live with Online Technology, presented in association with Eventia' - Anthony Miller, Director of Strategy, Active Network Events, Simon Hughes, Director Live Events, COI. This seminar was designed specifically to educate senior live marketing professionals within corporate, association, public sector and event agencies; and provided great insights into the challenge of creating digital platforms that extend the event beyond the day itself.
'How the Mobile Phone Changed the World (and not just the one you live in)' - David Snell, Chief Marketing Officer, QuickMobile. As more content moves from your desktop computer to your mobile phone, how do we predict what will happen next, and keep up with the ever-changing mobile market? In this ‘non-technical’ easy-to-understand seminar, David Snell explained how we got so reliant on our mobile phones, and how they’re revolutionising not just the world we live, but more importantly, their enormous impact on development in emerging economies.
