A FAD OR THE FUTURE?
What is just a passing fad, and what is going to stick around for the future?
Technology took over our lives last year – and with it, we saw a boom of new platforms and products across the sector. From AI to Voice, eSports to IOT, 5G to mixed reality – it’s difcult to predict what’s simply novel right now… and what has the power to change our lives forever.
In a world where you can purchase things via voice, thumb print and just one click – what is happening to the purchase journey?
In a world where you can purchase things via voice, thumb print and just one click – what is happening to the purchase journey? Being able to buy things at lightning speed was once a novelty – but as e-commerce has grown and our screen times have increased exponentially, it’s becoming harder and harder to catch and keep the attention of the consumer. In turn, more and more start-ups and challenger brands are shaking up their purchase journey, going against the grain of ‘one-click purchase’ to create virtual moments that almost feel like an in-store experience. Join us to explore the ever-winding road of the consumer journey, how it’s changed, and where it’s headed.

ARE YOU STALKING ME?
What feels personal, and what feels like a step too far?
It’s no surprise that a year of living through screens has increased our need for more personal, empathic communication. It’s also no shock that as people the world over craved company and connection more than ever before – brands leaned into the world of AI to recreate natural and authentic conversations.
As technology becomes more and more intuitive, many questions have gone unanswered. For example, can an algorithm ever truly replace meaningful human interaction? What happens to personalisation if we get rid of cookies? What right do brands have to be “personal”, anyway?
As suspicions rise over how tech brands use our data, and conspiracy theories over whether our gadgets are spying on us multiply, join us to take a look at the future of data and personalisation.
