Under the Radar Conference: Mobile + Social Commerce November 15-16, 2012 NEW LOCATION: San Francisco Mission Bay Conference Center VentureBeat Discount Code: http://undertheradarcommerce2012.eventbrite.com/?access=vbeat
With the increased use of mobile devices and social networks, consumers can discover, share and purchase items anytime and anywhere. Retailers, publishers and brands are now challenged with creating omni-channel strategies to track consumer behavior, points of entry, exit and intent. Leveraging technology can help them track, engage and convert shoppers into buyers. This November, Under the Radar will showcase emerging startups that have developed ways of turning discovery into commerce, analytics into action, tracking and monetizing images, all while reinventing the wallet. It doesn’t matter if a business operates in the cloud or has a store front – everyone is sprinting towards finding mobile, metrics-driven, social and profitable marketing strategies.
What Is Under the Radar?Under the Radar is Silicon Valley’s most effective innovation showcase and business development conference that meshes leading decision makers together with pre-vetted startups who are disrupting the way traditional business is run. Through an intense vetting process, we select a handful of the most innovative emerging startups to present to company executives that are responsible for leveraging innovation for competitive advantage. Startups have 6 minutes to pitch their company to a panel of customers and an audience of early adopter technology insiders.
Under the Radar has been recognized as the most important showcase of innovation and deal-making in Silicon Valley. In the past four years, 67% of our presenters have gone on to partner with, raise funding and/or be acquired by Google, Twitter, Hearst, Yahoo, AOL, Cisco, Wells Fargo, vmware, Microsoft, Facebook and others.
