he organizing committee of the Mobile Research Conference (www.mobileresearchconference.com) is delighted to announce the final line-up of prestigious keynote speakers for next year’s event on 8-9th March in London.
Hosted by Globalpark, a leading provider of panel, community and survey software, the conference is the must-attend event for anyone interested in understanding this emerging research platform.
The unique combination of end-client, agency and academic speakers will present, discuss and debate the key issues in mobile research.
Leading figures from the market research industry include Dr Liz Nelson of Fly Research, Guy Rolfe of Kantar and Richard Windle of Ipsos MediaCT Worldwide.
Case studies showcasing how mobile research can be used will be presented by Fiona Blades of Mesh Planning and Sabine Stork of Think Tank.
The Programme Committee is delighted to announce that Mario Callegaro Ph. D., Survey Research Scientist at Google will share his thoughts on mobile research and participate in one of two panel debates at the event.
The Mobile Research Conference is pleased to have the support of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), with Paul Berney, Managing Director for Europe kicking off the event with key data and insight on the growth of the mobile channel.
The programme provides the opportunity to hear the research and opinions of respected academics including Professor Mick Couper of the University of Michigan, Professor Nicola Döring of Ilmenau University of Technology and Marek Fuchs Associate Professor at the University of Kassel, Germany.
Dr Liz Nelson, founder of Taylor Nelson and pioneer of mobile research spoke at the conference in 2009 and is excited about participating again next year. “What delights me most about the event is the chance to hear both commercial and academic perspectives on this emerging technique and to discuss the opportunities and challenges it presents with the best brains in the industry. I jumped at the chance to participate in 2010.”
“The proliferation of mobile devices - more than half of the world’s population now own a mobile phone - has meant that the mobile channel has become an extremely effective and direct way for companies worldwide to reach and engage with consumers,” said Paul Berney, MMA Managing Director for Europe.
“The personal, targeted and always on, always available nature of the mobile handset makes it an ideal means of conducting research, particularly for those in the mobile marketing space as they seek to tailor campaigns to the individual.”
Residential remodeling and repair work increased in 1999, reflecting the growing stock of housing and a heavy turnover of used homes. Although the data for maintenance and repair construction are not as complete as those for new construction, the available information indicates that 1999 was a record year for maintenance and repair work. Nonresidential building improvements (commercial remodeling and renovation) also appeared to be at record levels.
Construction costs increased about 4 percent in 1999, as measured by the U.S. Bureau of the Census’s fixed-weight construction cost deflator. This was faster than the average annual rate of increase during the previous 5 years and faster than the rate of increase in the consumer price index. Prices for building materials rose an average of about 2 percent in 1999, although there were serious materials shortages during the peak construction season. Land prices appear to be escalating, and double-digit increases are common in some of the stronger markets. (Land prices are not included in the construction cost index.) Insurance and bonding costs have continued to increase, although the overall availability of insurance is better. Labor costs have increased because of tight labor markets, with average hourly earnings of construction workers increasing about 4 percent in 1999.
Home improvement and repair construction will continue to grow faster than will new home construction. Much of this demand will result from home owners adding rooms and amenities. In addition, the stock of housing is steadily growing larger and older, providing a growing base demand for home improvement and repair construction.
