Flashmarkets: From The Roman Agora to the Mobile Web

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Christopher Carfi, Cerado, Inc.
Description:
From the Greek Agora to the Dutch flower market at Aalsmeer to eBay and the iTunes App Store, markets have always been a key element of social civilization. But what are "markets" really, and how is technology changing their complexion? From GPS and location-based services to concepts such as VRM (Vendor Relationship Management), this session will examine the seven types of markets that technology has enabled, and how those markets are affecting our business relationships.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What is a "market?"
  2. How have markets changed over the last 2,000 years?
  3. What things are important for a market to exist?
  4. Can customers set up markets, or only vendors?
  5. How do "free" business models affect markets?
  6. What is the technical architecture needed to create a market?
  7. How do social networks change the nature of markets?
  8. How do location-based technologies such as GPS change markets?
  9. How do we federate across markets in different locations?
  10. What's next for markets?

I recently saw chris give a talk similar to this at the VRM workshop it was one of the most thought provoking I had seen in a while.

Based on his last work, I bet Chris will have an interesting take at SBSW as a market defined by the individual. Sure, there is competition, but the idea of bringing the edge to one place is a certain example of a VRM in motion.

A milestone in the long line of market formation.
