1:45 – 2:45 pm ROUNDTABLE:
A SOCIETY ADDICTED
Are we a society too addicted to “things”?
How do men and women react differently to
stimuli and withdrawal, from medication
to BlackBerrys? Will our addictions and
desire for customization create a surge
in micro-segmentation of the market, and
how will consumers react to needs unserved?
Could addiction to personal pleasure and
convenience change the face of the workforce?
Moderator:
Deanna Rosenswig, Former Executive Vice
President, Bank of Montreal.
3:00 – 4:00 pm ROUNDTABLE:
THIRSTY FOR INTIMACY
As technology breaks boundaries and diminishes
“face time” how will industries
compensate to imitate intimacy? Will our
thirst for personal connection cause us
to innovate differently than in the past?
Where can technology, or industry, re-create
intimacy, in the workplace and at home?
Will consumers demand product and service
that has more meaning?
