Why are emerging platforms such a hot topic?
"As multiple emerging technology platforms are playing a more significant role in marketing budgets, it's time to not only get a '101' on these platforms but examine their trends, case studies, ROI metrics and immediate applications. As a leader in results-oriented networking events between advertisers, marketers, technologies and brands, iMedia is poised to pull off a successful first effort focused on emerging platforms, and I am thrilled to contribute to its success."
-- Nihal Mehta, President/co-Founder, IPSH
"The online industry desperately needs an emerging platform Summit where the issues facing Advertisers, Marketers, Technologies and Brand as a business model for marketing through these new platforms is explored, and conventions can be challenged and new insights developed. No organization is better able to make such an emerging platform Summit a reality than is iMedia. I applaud the initiative iMedia is taking and look forward to being an active supporter and participant in the development of this event."
-- Todd Herman, Director, Business Strategy, MSN Video/Movies/TV, Microsoft
"As media channels evolve into a fragmented, digital domain; they present significant challenges and opportunities for improved addressability, optimization, and measurement. All constituents in the media industry have a stake in how this transition to digital media is managed. Furthermore, the industry is increasingly reliant on emerging technology platforms to manage and exploit this change. iMedia is demonstrating their grasp of the issues by creating this emerging platform Summit event with the quality of thought leadership and content they can deliver. By organizing smart and experienced leaders representing brand marketers, agencies, media distribution, and technology, iMedia is helping to frame up the business model dialogue in a relevant and meaningful way."
