Our good friend Matt Roberts, Head of North American Marketing at Amdocs previews the New Future

Dear Friends,

Trust this note finds you and yours safe and healthy.

Over the last decade, Mobile Future Forward has had the history of successfully peering into the future as to how the technology world and new revenue streams will evolve over time. The last decade was shaped by the synchronous S-curves of LTE, Smartphones, and Cloud. What will be the New Future synchronous S-curves?

We expect the “Connected Intelligence” companies to outperform the S&P Index by a good margin. In fact, just this year, CI Index has outperformed S&P by over 44%.

During our brainstorm sessions this year, we will dive deeper into how the New Future is being accelerated at a remarkable pace. There are new questions that are being raised about the future scenarios, trajectories, alliances and business models and our brilliant speakers will address them during in-depth candid conversations.

We are putting together a stellar program that will give you unvarnished view into the minds of the movers and shakers who will shape the coming decade. Your strategy and roadmap will be influenced by your participation.

Dear Friends,

Trust this note finds you and yours safe and healthy.

We are living through history and uncertain times.

Years of change is happening in days.

Supply Chains. Consumer Behavior. Enterprise Muscle Memory.

Threats. Partnerships. Competition. Talent. Economics. Trade.

There are more questions than answers.

We are planning our annual fall summit to help the industry address these questions in a thoughtful manner. This year, Mobile Future Forward Digital 2020 will be a two-day (Sept 9-10^th) online event filled with exceptional insights and brainstorming on what the future will bring. It will provide you guidance on how to prepare for the altered landscape and reshaped supply-chains. We will be delving deep into how to think about the New Future, how to come out of the crisis inspired and emboldened.

150 year of economic history tells us there is a 20% chance the companies that start during the next 12-24 months will help shape the decade to come.

Over the course of the last 10 years, we at Mobile Future Forward have never shied away from peering into the future to understand the trajectories of technologies, business models and their impact on industries and societies. We firmly believe that our industry will lead the rejuvenation of the global economy.

With the help of our long-time partners and steadfast community, we are assembling some of the best minds and technologists to help us brainstorm the path forward. Their wisdom of dealing with past crises and inventive spirit to create something new will shape our dialog and roadmap.

Please join us for the New Future.

Registration and more details to be announced next week.

Thanks, and best wishes.

Mobile Future Forward Team

At Mobile Future Forward, we always strive to be at the cutting edge of how we understand technology evolution and disruption. This year was no different. We partnered with our friends at a very innovative startup – Proprio Vision. They are some phenomenal work in bringing VR to Healthcare, more specifically to surgery. The main theme of this year’s Mobile Future Forward was to explain how different technologies are coming together to create disruption. We chose a perfect use case to illustrate that – Live Remote VR Surgery. That it happened to be the first such demo in the world made it all the more gratifying. The demo showed that by using Computer Vision, Light Field Imaging, 5G, AI/ML, Edge Computing, VR, and IoT, one create some really compelling roadmaps for disruption. We can go on and on .. best is to experience it yourself through this video from this year’s summit.

Dear friends and colleagues of Mobile Future Forward,

Hope you got back to your respective destinations without much trouble or delay.

It was such a thrill to have all of you at our special 10^th year summit earlier this week. We are humbled by the positive feedback we have been receiving from all of you.

Last night, I received a note from one of our guests. It perfectly captures what we try to do with MFF, its essence, aspiration, and ambition.

“I appreciate the force of your collective wisdom, guidance, and quantification efforts to place the emerging innovation arrays of so many different technological and commercial trajectories in graspable contexts and suggestive characterizations. Bravo!”

Our thanks to the amazing partners

Until next time, our best wishes to you in your own Connected Intelligence journeys.

Kind regards,

Mobile Future Forward Team
