Michael’s Session:
How to Survive the Shift to a Connected Device Landscape
By the end of 2013, there will be more mobile devices on Earth than people. According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast, consumers’ mobile appetite has grown a lot in the past year, and it shows no signs of slowing. In fact, mobile traffic worldwide grew 70% in 2012, nearly double what it was the year before. It’s now 12 times what the global Internet was in 2000. The deteriorating outlook for the PC market is a result of, among other things, smartphones and tablets cannibalizing PC sales. Smartphones and tablets have ushered in a new era where consumers have become agnostic about how, when and where they engage with content.

In addition, job-seekers have become increasingly comfortable looking for and applying to jobs on smartphones and tablets. However, employers have been slow to keep up with this growing trend. According to the latest research by iMomentous, only 3% of Fortune 500 companies offer a way for people to apply for jobs from a smartphone. As key behaviors such as search, social networking and applying for jobs migrate to smartphones and other connected devices, it is important for employers to improve the mobile Web experience. Those who fail to devise an effective multi-platform strategy will likely be left behind. Join us as we explore the latest trends in mobile usage behaviors and technology adoption, as well as discuss how the mobile channel is presenting new opportunities for engaging with today’s hyper-connected generation.
