I am very pleased to announce my contribution to a new book project called  shift 2020  - How Technology Will Impact Our Future. It's a self-published book curated by Rudy De Waele including foresights on how technology will impact our future by some of the world's leading experts. The story The idea of  shift 2020  is based upon  Mobile Trends 2020 , a collaborative project Rudy launched early 2010. It's one of the highest viewed decks on Slideshare (in the Top 50 of All Time in Technology / +320k views). Reviewing the document a couple of weeks ago, he realised the future is catching up on us much faster than many of the predictions that were made. so, he asked the original contributors for an update on their original predictions and new foresights for the year 2020. Additionally, Rudy broadened the scope of this new book project and asked new contributors to give their vision and foresights on the following topics: 3D Printing,...

I will be speaking at MEDIENTAGE MUNICH 2013 http://www.medientage.de/   about Location and digital footprints. The overall theme this year is “Mobile Life: A Challenge for Media, Advertising and Society”

Whether we know it or not: every piece of information we share on the internet creates a unique profile that speaks volumes about our personality.  Tony fish, founder of the Innovation Warehouse, shocks audiences by showing them how much data is collected from your online presence: without you being aware of it.  He also highly  recommends  the book "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely which delver more into the subject.

I have an amazing line up including Dick Hardt Pioneer and Entrepreneur, Kevin Marks Vice President of Open Cloud Standards at Salesforce, Andrew Nash Director of Identity Products Google and Michael Neuenschwander Sr. Director, Product Management, Oracle and Russ McGuire VP strategy at Sprint The starting position is that mobile phones are now digital sensors determining and feeding back what your current environment is like, they provide in India and Africa users with a digital identity, and these device just generate an abundance of user specific, context aware, relevant and timely data. But more data does not automatically give meaning, generate better insights or create value for either users or marketers. So what we are going to chat about is how do we make mobile data more meaningful and does it re...

Advertising is likely to be the only unchanged model in TV in 5 years, other models (telco, mobile, access, paid TV) will all adopt in different ways No natural “country boarders” of Internet presents the bigger hurdles to change Will the user be the centre o...
