The implications of this next tech revolution are staggering for marketers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nThe Power of Play &amp; The Rise of Camera Marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Carolina Arguelles, Head of AR Monetization Product Strategy for <strong>Snap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While the past 10 years have been about Social Media Marketing, the next 10 will introduce a new form of marketing \u2014 Camera Marketing. People everywhere are exploring the world through their camera and want to create content on behalf of brands because it\u2019s fun, useful, or relevant. At Snapchat we believe play is powerful and have built an ecosystem of products around the camera, including Lenses an AR format. Since the launch of Lenses, Snapchat has aired more than 100,000 AR experiences resulting in more than 250,000 years of playtime. What we&#8217;ve learned is that a mobile strategy without the camera is not a mobile strategy.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nCreating Content in the New Era of Mixed Reality Marketing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speakers: Chris Bobotis, Director Immersive, <strong>Adobe<\/strong>; Gabriele Corcos, <strong>celebrity Chef<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moderator: Amy LaMeyer, <strong>ARVR Academy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just when brands thought they had figured out story telling for the digital age comes mixed reality, and yep, story telling with mixed reality is vastly different, and, when done right, much more engaging and effective.

How should your brand approach this space? We&#8217;ll discuss the key considerations needed for planning your brand\u2019s future in mixed reality, from identifying key opportunities to developing a roadmap.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nVR\u2019s Killer App: It\u2019s a Platform, Not a Product<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Matthew Cooney, <strong>VR AR Technologist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While some may consider VR a mature technology, a significant dearth of quality content is preventing users from spending a significant time (and budget) on VR experiences. But is an over-emphasis on creating the next big campaign the problem? Understanding what will accelerate mass adoption of VR means evolving your understanding of how it will be used. In this talk, we\u2019ll look at how organizations can shift their perspectives on VR to maximize engagement, minimize costs, and ultimately, generate profit.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nQ&amp;A with Dorothy Dowling, CMO of Best Western<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Dorothy Dowling, CMO, <strong>Best Western Hotels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Moderator: Kerry Flynn, <strong>Digiday<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Best Western&#8217;s Dorothy Dowling is one of the nation&#8217;s most innovative and most respected Fortune 100 CMOs in the nation.
