4. Tech Trends
Who cares?
@Colleran
#ELEVATENYC
Benefit: Technology lowers costs, increases
efficiency, and increases utility.
Problem: Lots of noise. Every service self identifies as
innovative.
How to find success: Understanding more macro
market trends will help you identify real opportunities to
improve your business.
Example: Online Video

5. Broader Tech Trends
@Colleran
#ELEVATENYC
Mobile:
Everyone has smart phones, but how should they be
used to your advantage?
Hardware Improvements:
With iPads, Phablets, and $100 devices with more
power than the Apollo Lunar Module, devices can do
much more than ever before, but where does one
start?
Connected Platforms and Open APIs:
If I told you this means less fiddling with
spreadsheets, CSVs, and manual imports, would I
have your attention?
Trends that Apply Today

6. Tech Trend #1
Mobile Adoption
@Colleran
#ELEVATENYC
Trend: We’re all walking around with mini computers in
our pockets. Attendees and organizers are already using
these devices to receive information from their
networks, general news, and more.
Impact: It has never been easier to provide attendees with
the information they need at their finger tips.
What is being replaced: Paper brochures, posted
signs, PDF attachments to emails, last minute trips to the
printer.

7. Tech Trend #2
Hardware Improvements
@Colleran
#ELEVATENYC
Trend: Hardware technology is constantly becoming more
advanced and cheaper (thanks to Moore’s Law).
Impact: With improvements to widely available hardware
devices, companies are replacing specialized hardware
with these devices.
What is being replaced: Point of sales, badge/ticket
scanners, lead retrieval hardware, business cards, etc.

8. Tech Trend #3
Connected Platforms and APIs
@Colleran
#ELEVATENYC
Trend: Companies are releasing open APIs (Application
Programming Interfaces), so that software vendors can
easily integrate data
Impact: Users’ data is less likely to be stuck on one
platform making it easier for different services to work
together
What is being replaced: Spreadsheets, CSVs, and
manual importing/exporting of data
