UNLOCKING THE MILLENNIAL MINDSET

Presented by:

Scott Hess, EVP, Corporate Marketing & Generational Intelligence, Mediavest

| Spark

Millennials are not only the largest living generation. They’re also entering their

prime earning and consuming years, and exercising perhaps greater influence

than any other consumer segment, ever. Join Millennial expert and Publicis

Media EVP Scott Hess as he takes us inside “the Millennial mindset,” helping

us unlock why they think, work, and buy like they do, and how we can connect

with them more effectively.

4:00 PM 5:00 PM


THE INNOVATION ADVANTAGE

Presented by:

Andrew Razeghi, Founder & Managing Partner, StrategyLab, Inc.

As a result of rapid change, some companies – and entire industries have

been upended. They are no longer relevant and/or they have seen their

margins squeezed to the point of no return. Others have successfully

reinvented themselves – including the ways in which they compete.

Companies that are thriving today and will continue to dominate markets and

make traditional competitors irrelevant are investing heavily in innovation. But

what does it mean to innovate in a legacy business? Why do some leaders fail

while others succeed? And what can you do to gain the innovation advantage?

In this provocative keynote, participants will learn to think bigger, challenge

conventional wisdom, and begin to lead at the next level where innovation is

not a luxury but a necessity.

5:00 PM 5:45 PM

LOCATION: Palace Ballroom Foyer—Emperors Level

WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE IN 2017? HOW TOCREATE SMARTER MOVIE MARKETING WITHMOVIEGOER DATA INSIGHTS

Moderated by:

William Palmer, Chief Executive, Movio

Capturing the attention of moviegoers requires a highly personalized

approach, but how can you know which particular audience will visit the

theater when, or who is likely to attend a particular genre or new release?

Without knowing the ‘who’ how can you successfully plan your marketing

strategy? By harnessing the power of moviegoer data, we’ll paint the picture of

the American moviegoer providing full audience profiles covering demo

composition and insights (age, gender, ethnicity), and behavioral patterns

(frequency, admissions) while focusing on several audiencebased film

clusters, from Horror to Comedy.
