What new opportunities or challenges are likely to emerge by marrying traditional data sources with social media in a broad set of areas, including customer service, advertising, marketing, brand affinity, or even homeland security? What are the best ways to successfully extract insight from a diverse, real-time and expanding "big data" universe? Mobile Devices and Beyond Mobile devices have changed the way we live, work, and play. Beyond simply faster/better/smaller devices, what breakthroughs will lead us into the next generation of connected life? Are wearable computing, connected cars and transportation systems, and wireless augmentation to humans possibilities in the not-too-distant future? Civic Computing This panel will address how technology can change the way we interact with people in our communities--from more engagement in our neighborhoods, facilitated interactions with government agencies, and stronger support for self-reliance in times of emergencies. How can our communities be healthier in every sense of the word? How can cities begin to become more self-aware? *Schedule subject to changes.   Hotel Reservations The Georgia Tech People and Technology Forum has a special rate for attendees at the Georgia Tech Hotel.
