Biggest change over the next decade

Time spent watching online video vs. TV

   
  Named Entrepreneur of the Year twice and recipient of the Wall Street Transcript Award for outstanding contributions toward shareholder value as a CEO, Fulgoni will underscore the huge positives for the television ecosystem in a multiplatform world.  Measurement becomes increasingly important as more data becomes available in greater quantities with enabling technology such as set-top boxes, web and mobile analytics.  Compare internet behavior as applied to digital cable and determine what’s transferrable and what lessons have been learned.  Fulgoni will further examine the relationship between TV viewing and internet viewing to show how television drives traffic and commerce to the web.

Spreadability

Transmedia vs. old school adaptation

   
  The author of a dozen books on various aspects of media and popular culture, Professor Henry Jenkins leads the Convergence Culture Consortium which explores the intersection of participatory culture and corporate practices.

A key focus of the group is “spreadability” – a new form of participatory culture, where consumers take media in their own hands, reworking its content to serve their personal and collective interests. Jenkins describes how to negotiate and create value in a media environment that emphasizes distribution and dispersion over aggregation and single channels. Understand how spreadable media generates active commitment from the audience, empowers them, and makes them an integral part of your success.

William Morris Endeavor Entertainment

  John is a Board Member of William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, and he oversees strategic planning and development for WME.  He has worked in the entertainment industry for many years and currently represents J.J. Abrams and Courtney Cox.

Fogelman will explore how cable can go beyond its traditional limitations to apply I.P. (Intellectual Property) status to all it has to offer. The variety of venues for media product, including cable TV, DVDs, cell phones, computers, broadband and game consoles, creates a situation Fogelman calls, “chaos, but chaos which you can find revenue in.” Interviewed by CNBC Anchorwoman, Julia Boorstin, John will also share his work shepherding Hasbro to become a true intellectual property with extensions as a TV network with Discovery and beyond.

Don't force research

Social networking if not a community

Tell a story

The new normal

Personalization of research

   
  Research is one business tool that is used differently by each business that employs it.

Used well, it's integral to the business's agenda -- helping create a vision for the future, unlocking the secrets to success. Used poorly, it can manipulate, mislead, confuse - or sit on a shelf neglected.

While Researchers are the scientists who bring the world new and different data and analysis, they do not always control how their work is perceived or utilized. Many times research leads to breakthrough moments or bold new strategies, but often, the truth in their data is lost in translation or even ignored.

Shapiro will discuss the way he uses data, and how the shifting consumer-led revolution demands a change in the way the C-Suite incorporates research.
