(Nominal Fees) Breakfast with @TiEPune: Lessons on E-commerce & Internet advertising for entrepreneurs

  • Date: Sat, 15 Feb 8:30am – 10:30am
  • Location: Shekhar Natu Hall, 5th Floor, A-Wing, MCCIA, ICC Towers, SB Road

TiE Pune Breakfast session – with Pehr Luedtke CEO of SpotZot

As with any business move or expansion, considering an online presence can raise a sometimes dizzying list of questions for an entrepreneur. Exactly what must be put in place to make it happen? How does an online presence change the market for the business? What are competitors doing? How will people shop? What kind of security is required? How will customers pay online? Small businesses that have little or no e-commerce capabilities on their websites should know about taking the next step in converting their marketing sites into selling locations that extend their customer bases, images and sales in entirely new ways. Those entrepreneurs not yet online need to discover how the Internet is likely to transform their businesses and introduce them to markets far beyond those which are currently in reach. The most amazing aspect of e-commerce is its ability to impact sales and marketing efforts immediately. By going online, suddenly a neighborhood bakery or a home based consulting service expands its reach to a national, or even international base of potential customers. Web-based sales know no international boundaries.

About the Speaker – Pehr Luedtke

Pehr has a decade of experience in ecommerce, internet advertising, and retail. Currently, Pehr is the CEO of Spotzot, a leading location-based mobile advertising platform for retailers and brands. Spotzot employs proprietary technology to create compelling offers for consumers near retailers that they care about.

Call for Speakers: IndicThreads Conference on Mobile App Development – 2011

Featured, , , , ,

Regular readers of PuneTech will know that we believe IndicThreads conducts the best vendor-neutral tech conferences in Pune, and hence we’re usually glad to promote the CFP for their conferences. Currently, the CFP for their Mobile Applications Development Conference (to be held in Pune on 19, 20 August 2011) is open and we would like to encourage our readers to submit proposals.

Since IndicThreads is a paid conference, PuneTech does not promote the conference itself on the PuneTech home page, but we’re happy to promote the call-for-speakers, since that is free, and it allows the selected speakers to attend the conference without having to pay. There are of course other benefits to being a speaker at one of these conferences – including increasing your visibility, becoming known as a domain expert, etc.

This CFP is soliciting speakers in the areas of mobile applications, mobile application platforms, frameworks, tools, testing, performance, security and in general anything interesting related to mobile applications.

The last date for submitting the proposal is 15th June, and right now, you only have to submit a short abstract of what you will be speaking about. So, it is as easy as just clicking here and writing one paragraph about whatever work you’ve been doing in the area of mobile app development recently. Just do it.
