Please join leading Gartner Analysts from our Consumer and Electronics Research Teams as they highlight key trends in this space.

Join us for a morning of interactive presentations and learn how Gartner insight can help you innovate and grow your business. AGENDA 8:00 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. Registration and Breakfast 8:45 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Martin Reynolds, Managing VP Consumer Tech & Markets Welcome & Introduction 9:00 a.m. – 9:35 a.m. Michael Gartenberg, Research Director Consumer Tech & Markets Consumer Personal Cloud, Ready to Eclipse the Personal Computer for Consumers The Personal Cloud is the next gestation of the personal computing revolution. The personal cloud over time will displace the PC as the location where users keep their personal content, access their services, and personal preferences and center their digital lives. Consumer’s data will be available on a contextual basis flowing from device to device, screen to screen and location to location. We explore this sea change in the consumer digital experience and what it means for technology and content service providers. 9:35 a.m. – 10:10 a.m. Carolina Milanesi, Research VP Consumer Tech & Markets From PCs to the Personal Cloud: Device Impact The personal cloud era will mark a power shift from devices toward services. In this new world, the specifics of devices will become less important. Consumers and professional users will use a collection of devices, with the PC remaining one of many options, but no one device will be the primary hub. Rather, the personal cloud will take on that role. Access to the cloud and the content stored or shared from the cloud will be managed and secured, rather than focusing solely on the device. In this new era device manufacturers will have to focus on software rather than hardware with ease of use as the ultimate goal of the experience they are delivering. The intuitiveness and richness of the device user interface, the ease of sharing content between devices and to and from the cloud will be paramount in guiding the consumers into this new era. 10:10 a.m. – 10:35 a.m. Angela McIntyre, Research Director Consumer Tech & Markets Future Computing Form-factors and User Interfaces Consumers’ lifestyles are driving changes in technology, and technology is enabling new consumer lifestyles. Device interfaces and the personal cloud are at the critical intersection of these changes. Today’s voice, gesture, multi-touch and haptics will replace or complement keyboards. In the future the best multi-modal interfaces will work together seamlessly and will “disappear” in the eyes of the user. Vendors that get the recipe right will thrive, ones that don’t will struggle in a commoditized low-margin business. 10:35 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. Break 10:50 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. Mark Hung, Research Director Semiconductors and Electronics The Personal Cloud: How Do You Hook It Up? Connected devices are proliferating throughout the home, and the volume of personal data is growing by leaps and bounds in the public network, accessed through personal cloud services. We will examine the connectivity technologies that underlie this phenomenon, explore the new growth opportunities in the major platforms, and discuss which industry players stand to benefit from this emerging trend. 11:15 a.m. – 11:40 a.m. Brian Blau, Research Director Consumer Tech & Markets Consumer Apps Drive Social, Game and Cloud Ecosystems Smartphone and tablet experiences continues to captivate consumers by delivering compelling features such as social networking, television and movies, video games and entertainment as well as many other useful and fun services all through the convenience of a mobile device. Brands who have or are considering deploying mobile apps need to understand the mobile app economy, how it’s being personalized, its inclusion of core social functionality, and how app design and easy access to syncing and storing your data are key components.
