WHAT: IRI® President and CEO Andrew Appel will join top leaders from Shop Direct, Facebook, GGV Capital and Zillow Group in a panel discussion to dissect the way mobile technology changes consumer behavior and unearth the growth opportunities that this technology presents. Appel will disclose best practices and impending disruptions in the digital space, advising how to achieve expectation-shattering growth through mobile monetization.
                       
WHY: Consumer behavior is transforming rapidly, because mobile technology is very pervasive. As consumers continue to rely on smartphones for every aspect of daily life, mobile shopping has skyrocketed; Amazon estimates that 70 percent of its holiday-season traffic came from mobile devices. However, there is still a puzzling disconnect between revenue from mobile traffic and the surge in audience engagement on mobile devices. Where challenges exist, opportunity follows. Whether it’s creating revenue streams from content flow, optimizing user-based data, or converting users into customers, monetizing mobile remains the strongest growth opportunity in the digital space.
