Tired of sifting through the same old presentations, articles and online demos for nuggets of information? We are too, that’s why we’re launching our own webinar series entitled, MPD LIVE!: A Reality Webinar that features high level executives throughout various industries discussing topics as broad reaching as mobile, payments, banking, social media and the convergence of them all.

For our first webinar, December 16th, the Banking Tribe and the Telecom Tribe will battle for the Immunity Idol. Lisa Stanton, CEO, Monitise will represent the banking tribe and Mari Joller, Strategy and Business Development, Virgin Mobile will represent the carrier tribe. Both will vie for the mobile commerce immunity idol. Join us on December 16th at 11AM EST to see who will navigate the maze to transaction and data revenue, who will be sent to Exile Island, and who will be voted off the bottom line at the Tribal Council. To register, please email abigail.adams@marketplatforms.com.

The last several months have underscored what we already knew, the business world is unscripted and our discussions will be too. We plan to have some fun with our “reality” theme but the advice and insights that we will share for how to focus on short term results couldn’t be more serious.

The webinar format is pretty simple: you give us 45 minutes and we’ll give you a 5×5 – that’s 5 slides and 5 take-aways. MPD’s Karen Webster and Scott Peterson will host and assemble a panel of always interesting and sometimes even provocative panelists who will preside over these live, free executive conversations.

We hope to see you at Tribal Council!
