Networking

Current Seminar: Alternative and Innovative Payment Solutions for Web and Mobile Billing

What: Knowledge & Networking Seminars are focused and interactive forums that attract between 60 - 80 attendees on a regular basis. Our speakers deliver practical, in-depth case studies that you can put into practice in your own organisation. After the seminar delegates and speakers move into a more informal bar setting to continue discussing the topics raised at the event over drinks. The intimate format has been designed to encourage networking and debate during the seminar.

Time: The seminars usually run from 6.30pm - 8.30pm leaving plenty of time for further networking with the speakers and your peers over drinks afterwards. We look forward to meeting you at one of our events in the near future!

Knowledge & Networking Seminars have been successfully organised by AIME for several years now.  These events are focused and open forums that attract between 60 –100 attendees on a regular basis. The 90 minute mediated presentation, discussion and audience Q&A formats are designed to promote engaging debate about key industry trends and issues within an intimate and relaxed environment.  Our speakers deliver practical, in-depth presentations and case studies, participate in mediated panel  discussion and answer questions from the floor.

After the seminar, delegates and speakers move into a more informal bar setting to continue the discussion, make introductions and network over drinks. The proven formats have consistently demonstrated open debate and valuable business connections.

1) Mobile retail, couponing and eCRM

With ebay expecting to do £400m worth of business via its iPhone app, is mobile retailing finally achievable? How does couponing and eCRM all fit into the picture. This Seminar tracks all the latest developments

2) Social Media and Advertising Part 2

Following the success of our previous seminar in this area, we revisit the topic to learn how the market has developed, hear from successful case studies and anticipate the future market

3) PRS in TV & Radio Broadcasting

All hail the return of SMS voting in prime time TV shows! There every possibility this will return in early 2010 after almost 2 years absence caused by sloppy practices. Let’s see how it’s performing and also look at other areas where mobile, radio and TV come together

4) Branded Devices and Branded Application storess

Media companies and brands are rolling out their own digital devices and application storefronts. What’s the impact going to be when integrated CRM, barcode scanners, loyalty programs etc begin to arrive at the likes of Tesco et al?

5) Competitions in Media Part 2 - Print

Running any kind of competition in the media means being in the regulatory spotlight these days. Following on from our Competitions in Media Part One last year on broadcast, this seminar looks as the other side of the media coin – publishing and print

6) Mobile Video

Mobile video has been around for a number of years now but has it taken off in the way everyone predicted? Time for a health check and an examination of the key points around this subject 

7) Kindling an interest in E-readers and Netbooks

With the launch Kindle 2 from Amazon and the rise of the netbook as a thin client networked device, what does E-Readers and other digital devices of this kind mean for publishers, content and billing? This Seminar looks at the latest developments
