Content, data and immediacy are today’s bywords for business and companies which fail to embrace them run the risk of disappearing altogether. The app market is flourishing, the games industry is a global business, social media can result in exponential growth and 40 per cent of purchases are now being made via mobiles and tablets. Retailers like The Hut Group are basing their decisions on reading algorithms and targeting customers by their browsing patterns. Music Magpie is pioneering re-commerce, which will make it as easy to sell to website as it is to buy from them. Augmented reality, 3D printing and New Field Communications (NFC) are growing and Google Glasses will change the landscape still further. Technology is driving businesses to make efficiency savings and improve the profit line but how can you position your business in the fast water to make sure you’re not left behind? Insider’s Business of Digital and Technology Conference will bring together a stellar panel of experts to demystify what’s happening in a language that you can understand.
