Conference: Accelerating Market Acceptance in a Networked World
March 14 – 16, 2007
Omni Los Angeles Hotel and
University of Southern California
Los Angeles, California

Mark your calendar and make your travel reservations now to attend the March 14-16, 2007 conference on “Accelerating Market Acceptance in a Networked World” at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel and University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

With the advent of the connected customer, the diffusion of innovation is potentially less diffuse and more structured. Accelerating market acceptance of new and existing products and services requires an understanding of the social networks and peer-to-peer communications that increasingly mediate this process. How can we conceptualize, implement and measure our marketing efforts in this new environment? To what extent do traditional models still apply? What new resources and constraints will we encounter?

Co-sponsored with the Center for Global Innovation at the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, this conference will explore these and other issues. More information will be sent later via e-mail, but for continual updates on speakers and to register, please visit our website at: http://www.msi.org/links/meetings.cfm.
