As people have gotten more comfortable with technology, the lifestyle field has grown considerably. Whether looking at the internet, shopping online, social media usage or eSports, lifestyle services have made a huge impact on society and the economy.

The vast majority of this has been beneficial, but care is needed to ensure that it remains so; press stories of gaming addiction, online bullying and more sensationalise some of the potential drawbacks and encourage knee-jerk responses. This session will dispel some of the myths around popular lifestyle services and take a pragmatic look at what industry, government and wider society can and should do to benefit most from digital lifestyles.

Asia-Pacific is a large, addressable and maturing market that is particularly well versed into the use of mobile devices and social media. As commerce has evolved to encompass Web, mobile and social channels, MNOs’ digital commerce proposition has progressed to supporting payment online and at point-of-sale so that the consumer can use a single service to manage all their transactions.  In this session through presentations and panels, speakers will cover a range of questions about MNO’s need to explore additional collaborative opportunities both inside and outside of the industry. With alternative payment methods being used across the region, how can MNOs level the playing field with their competitors by using Artificial Intelligence to enhance their digital commerce propositions?
