Significantly, the Think.Tank Summit 2002 will feature a keynote speech from Emily Nagle Green, Managing Director, Forrester North America, in which she will outline patterns in the adoption of technology by mainstream European consumers. Her presentation, “When Mainstream Consumers Go Interactive,” will look at how interactive media and entertainment is evolving in Europe and what effect broadband and wireless will have on consumption.
