Jeremy Lockhorn
Marketing, Strategy, Emerging Technology & Innovation Consultant5G and the Golden Age of Interconnectivity
Tuesday, Aug. 20 @ 9:00 AM
Even though coverage is limited and only a few handsets are ready to link up, the excitement around 5G is palpable —particularly when it comes to digital media and advertising implications. However, Jeremy Lockhorn, former Mobile Lead at SapientRazorfish, argues that focusing on the lightning fast connection speeds and low latency promised by 5G is missing the forest for the trees. In this keynote, he'll explore the implications of 5G as one of several ingredient technologies powering a future of heretofore untold interconnectivity—and specifically what that means for advertising technology and publishers’ digital revenue efforts.
