It’s going to be a big year for media.  It’s going to also be a big year for politics.   So, we at BIMA thought we’d combine the two and see how much (informed) fun we can have discovering and predicting the most important media trend of 2012 in our version of a “political debate.”  Join us for this fast-paced, informative and fun evening!

Here’s what you’ll be seeing:

6:00pm – 6:45pm Networking

6:45pm – 7:15pm Round 1:  Opening Arguments from:

7:15pm – 7:45pm Round 2 – Head-to-head Debates, disputing:

• "Privacy doesn’t matter when it comes to smarter targeting capabilities”
• “Social ecommerce will never take off.”

7:45pm – 8:25pm Round 3 – Moderator & Audience Questions

Including questions such as:

• According to Nielsen, 288M Americans watch traditional TV while 148M watch video on the internet. What is the biggest immediate impact of this shift in device and content access on traditional TV?
• The Minority Report showed a world of hyper personalized experiences that have never quite come to fruition – why do you think that is?
• Which device will dominate the media landscape in the now and in the next five years?
  

8:25pm – 8:30pm Declaration of the 2012 “President”

You, the audience, will be the ones to decide which of our ‘candidates’ makes the most compelling case for their big media idea, who answers our tricky questions the best and who has the most convincing manifesto.
