WHAT: Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) Consumer Forum 2006: Humanizing The Digital Experience

Cheap devices and the mainstream adoption of broadband and wireless networks make technology a more accessible, everyday part of people’s lives. At the same time, people are exerting more control over digital experiences by generating their own content and connecting with others online. These empowered consumers expect technology to conform to — not dictate — their needs and behaviors. Thus, they have zero tolerance for clumsy, cold, and confusing digital experiences. At this Event, leading Forrester analysts will present research on how brands are humanizing the digital experience, and industry executives will share their companies’ best practices for creating inviting and intuitive multichannel experiences.
