Agenda

	About the Agenda, Comment from Conference Co-Chair Peter Krasilovsky “The deals space is so hot right now, yet there are many unanswered questions about it. We know it will be big, but what will it look like 18 months from now? Which companies are best positioned to succeed when the crowded marketplace begins sorting out the winners from the wannabes? What role does local search play in the changing nature of finding deals? These are the topics we’ll be focused on at Deals 3D.”
	Day 1 – Monday, July 18, 2011

	1:00 pm - 1:30 pm Conference Welcome: ‘Deals’ Fuels Transformation of Multitrillion-Dollar Local Commerce Marketplace
	The emergence of daily deals has launched a radical transformation of local online commerce. Based on current models, BIA/Kelsey forecasts that U.S. daily deals could drive $6 billion by 2015. But with new models emerging every day, that number might be $30 billion by 2015. BIA/Kelsey will share its vision of key drivers of this transformation and why the next 24 months could redefine local commerce.

	Jon Sofield, Deals 3D Cochairman VP, Business Development, The Dealmap
	1:30 pm - 2:00 pm Opening Keynote Presentation: Gary Kearns, Group Executive, Information Services, MasterCard Advisors
	The multibillion-dollar deals and transactions industry is led by the power trio of the credit card companies. Staking out a leadership position is MasterCard, with its ties to Google’s new Offers product and NFC transactions. MasterCard’s views will kick off Deals 3D and offer a deep dive into what’s behind its vision. Gary Kearns, Group Executive, Information Services, MasterCard
	2:00 pm - 2:30 pm Follow the Money: Payments, Rewards & Redemptions
	Playing in the deals space is no easy task for local merchants. What are the pain points for merchants? How can they convert the best customers into the most loyal customers? How will consumers get rewarded for deal loyalty? Tying together loyalty and deals will be a winning recipe. Solving those challenges will drive a larger and more loyal share of the merchant business. Brainstorm with the leaders on this key panel.

	2:30 pm - 3:15 pm Matching Deal and Users: Building a Perfect Deals Marketplace
	The science of targeting users with exactly the right deal, at the right time and in the right place is a winning combination. It’s also the basis for an industry segment that aggregates thousands of deals and provides them in an exchange for a piece of the action. How will these deal exchanges evolve during the next 24 months, and which ones are poised to be key parts of the emerging deals ecosystem?
	Oliver Gratry, CFO, Analog Analytics	Jared Kopf, Founder, Homerun
	Martin Tobias, Founder and CEO, Tippr
	3:15 pm - 3:45 pm Refreshment Break
	3:45 pm - 4:15 pm Afternoon Keynote: David Krantz, President and CEO, AT&T Interactive
	With nearly 5,000 sales reps and an unmatched national footprint, AT&T is set to play a substantive role in shaping the future of the deals space. With its enviable network of consumers via YP.com, AT&T U-verse, and AT&T Wireless, AT&T will have a seat at the table. This might prove to be one of the biggest entrances to the deals ecosystem. David Krantz, President and CEO, AT&T Interactive
	4:15 pm - 5:00 pm The Science and Art of ‘Localizing’ National Deals
	Sophisticated targeting of local consumers is the crux of conversion in the deals space. The national promotions companies know this better than anyone and have seized on the deals opportunity to localize national offers and extend their brands reach. The 438,000 Groupons sold for Gap last year were just the tip of the iceberg. Now it’s the franchises that are fueling the national play in local deals.
	Loren Bendele, CEO, Savings.com	Robert Boniface, COO and Director of Operations/Public Relations, iCoupon Online
	Kimberly Cook, VP of Sales and Business Development, Greenlink Networks	David Goldfarb, CEO and Cofounder, YourBestDeals.com
	5:00 pm - 5:30 pm Adding ‘Deals’ to a Local Bag of Tricks
	It’s no layup to load up a local sales rep with yet another product — it requires thoughtful planning, disciplined training and realistic objectives to succeed. And unlike other digital media, deals have a different wrinkle and lots of moving parts. So what are the leaders in the local SMB space doing to roll out deals, and what are the secrets to a successful launch? Learn the power of SMB sales from leaders in the space.

Will they provide true, directory-like coverage of local SMBs?

	2:00 pm - 2:30 pm Merchant Services: The ‘One and Done’ Is Not Enough
	Merchants playing in the deals space don’t want the “one and done” customer — they want long-term, high-quality customers.
