Nonstop Connectivity: Striving for Ubiquity

Tuesday, March 15
11:00AM - 12:00PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 8ABC
531 E 4th St

In our hyper-connected world consumer expectations are tied to technological innovation and advancement powered largely by non-stop connectivity. This "plugged-in" mentality has affected how we interact globally – personally and professionally. As mobile connectivity becomes more ubiquitous, opportunities are being created for new players and industry veterans to shake up the way we interact, travel and experience. In this panel, Gogo CCO Ash ElDifrawi, TripAdvisor CMO Barbara Messing and LoungeBuddy CEO Tyler Dikman will take to the Austin skies on Gogo’s flying lab to discuss the implications of global connectivity, how it’s fueling the way we connect and what it means for businesses.
