Keep Ahead of the Tech Curve: West Coast Mission De-Brief

Members of the IPA recently visited thought leaders at companies like Amazon, Whatsapp and Google and grilled them about their future plans and latest developments. We’re saving you the plane fare and delivering our key findings in a two-hour tour of the latest from San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles/Hollywood.

We’ll share what to watch out for and key insights, including:

• How companies are making waves in VR, AR and Immersive Technology, Blockchain and the Internet of Things
• How marketing and advertising can harness AI and voice for future brand communications
• How business models are changing and where advertising and brand communications fit in
