Leading ICT & CE event announces new content stream as part of conference agenda. Deep insight into pricing, consumer demand, product evolution and routes-to-market during focused session.
Farouk Hemraj, Director & Co-Founder at DISTREE Events, said, “2014 is the year when WT & Connected Devices move from hype to reality; from drawing boards to retail shelves and e-tail sites; and from niche status to become a mainstream product category with significant channel sales.”
“This important new summit will provide genuine market insight and a business development roadmap for EMEA’s volume channel partners as they look to take advantage of the opportunities around WT & Connected Devices. It will also explore how the adoption rate of WT & Connected Devices will vary across individual national markets in EMEA,” he added.
The inaugural WT & Connected Devices Channel Summit will take place in Monaco on Thursday 13th February 2014 from 14:00-16:00 as part of the DISTREE EMEA agenda. The new session will be moderated by Laurent Eymard, Co-Founder and CEO at Switzerland-based RED-DOLPHIN, a community platform dedicated to WT.
Hemraj added, “We are looking not only to drive the development of WT & Connected Devices as a channel growth opportunity, but also to understand and question how this market will develop over time. There are still many unanswered questions such as how effective major smartphone companies can be in leveraging their brand loyalty into the WT & Connected Devices space.”
