Future of Mobile Social Activity

Chad Stoller (Drop.io), Conor Brady (Organic, Inc)
2:25pm Friday, 09/19/2008
Topic: Media & Marketing
Location: 1A12 & 14

This session focuses on the next wave of social computing—the pending collision course between mobile and location positioning systems, location-based services, and social networks. Location is the ultimate context and with GPS services, it only gets more exciting. Marketers beware: this is the next big thing.

In this session, attendees will learn:

  • What makes for good location-based services and information
  • Understanding how to make sure content is contextually relevant
  • The value of trusted information and data in a location-based context

Conor Brady

Organic, Inc

With over 15 years as an Experience Designer, Conor is responsible for the creative discipline in Organic’s New York office for clients such as Bank of America, Related Companies, Ethan Allen, and Equinox Fitness.

Conor joined Organic from Razorfish, where he was a Creative Director since 2001 in London and New York, working with brands including Conde Nast, Taj Hotels, Ford Motor Company, HBO, and Nielsen Media, and on the redesign of the New York Times website. Sure there were others, but he wasn’t that impressed with them. A native of Ireland, he has been trapped in NYC since his escape from London where he worked in the music industry for the Universal Music Group. Thus he enjoys a Guinness and plays a mean air guitar. If you need him during off hours, then he’ll be on his bike in a 3 heart rate zone thinking about how to get big digital experiences down small Internet cables.
