Joining the 2011 event will be Barbara Pellow of InfoTrends, Peter Muir of Bizucate and Kent Lewis, EDP of HP Exstream. The back-to-back keynote sessions will take place on Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 10:30 and 11:30 AM, EST.

Pellows keynote, “All channels are on” will explore how businesses are finding that reaching customers via multiple touch points does have a profound effect on their marketing efforts. As businesses are looking for tools and partners that can deliver their message using multiple channels beyond print, multi-channel capability is quickly becoming an essential factor for success. Included in the discussion will be an assessment of the state of the cross-media marketing market today and its future direction as well as insight into marketing executives’ and agencies’ needs, perceptions, and challenges in implementing cross-media marketing campaigns where “all channels are on”.

In this session, Peter Muir of Bizucate and Kent Lewis of HP will share some of their ideas on the next generation of the way people can communicate with each other. The future is bright for technology and data, but the usage and combination of technology and people leads to opportunities for some and problems for many. With some creativity and innovative thinking people will continue to communicate in incredibly useful ways.
Peter and Kent welcome your thoughts on the topic both in the session and before it even starts.
