Albion Society
Event Info
Description
The Albion Society often asks questions about what will happen next in culture. But the rise and rise of mobile as the next transformative force in global business and culture is already happening.
In Mary Meeker's recent presentation to Google's thinkmobile conference, she revealed some jaw-dropping statistics that show just how quickly mobile is growing. For example in the fourth quarter of 2010, overall shipments of smartphones and tablets surpassed PC shipments for the first time. And global mobile data traffic is projected to grow 26 times over the next five years. If any further proof were needed, then look no further than the start-of-year declaration by Google's CEO Eric Schmidt that "all of our 2011 strategic initiatives are mobile".
On Tuesday 8th March the Albion Society will host a discussion between four entrepreneurs who got into mobile early, and are using it to drive business costs down and quality of customer relationships up. They'll share lessons about what works and what doesn't, and about the challenges of operating in an environment that's changing on a weekly basis.
