Marketing 2.0 conference in Paris

For those who are interested in social media, there is an interesting conference in Paris on 22-23  March 2010. Marketing 2.0 (M2C) will bring together experts and specialists to discuss the future of marketing, (social) media, and advertising, as well as new technology.

The main goal of the M2C is to exchange ideas and learn how to handle the dramatic changes in media, marketing, and consumer behavior in your day-to-day business using the latest knowledge, best practice, and trends. We try to gain insights from the bigger picture instead of focusing on only one discipline, such as technology, marketing, or media. Furthermore, we recognize that all areas are becoming ever more connected and also recognize the need for better understanding across all departments today.

If you click on the icon on the Comminsight blog and add the code: PGM2C2 you can benefit from a slight  discount.

See you in Paris!

MobileMonday Switzerland event in Lausanne – Monday 6 October, 2008 17h30-19h

MobileMonday Switzerland Event #2
Mobile payments and banking
When : October 6th, 2008 17:30-19:00
Where: EPFL Campus, 1015 Lausanne (BC440 Cafeteria BC)

Mobile payments and banking is already a mass-market phenomenon in Japan and Korea. When will mobile operators deploy mobile payment and banking to other markets? How do you manage mobile money? You need a value chain of merchants and payers. You need secure transactions. You need universal usability. Many in the industry are still skeptical of mobile money’s promise. They want scale, simplicity and ways to measure success – all of which are underdeveloped right now in mobile platforms. What are the main approaches to success? NFC application to transportation, micro-payment and money transfers, full mobile banking?

These questions will be answered at the Mobile Monday event on 6 October. To register click here.

Mobile Monday is a community of mobile industry professionals, developers and influencers fostering international cooperation and networking by organizing networking events to share ideas, best practices and trends from global markets. Mobile Monday is a non-profit organization managed by volunteers from around the world. Originating in Finland in 2000, today Mobile Monday has over 50 chapters.
