RAPAPORT... Ben Smithee, a consumer trends expert who was nominated as one of the "Top 10 Youth Marketing Professionals in the U.S.," will deliver the keynote presentation on wearable technology and other disruptive products at MJSA Expo New York, which is scheduled for March 8 to10 at the Hilton in New York City. Smithee's session, "The Cyborg Consumer: From Wearable Tech to 3-D Printing," will anchor a seminar program that also includes Blaine Lewis of the New Approach School in Franklin, Tennessee; David Geller of JewelerProfit in Atlanta; Antoinette Matlins, co-author of Gem Identification Made Easy: A Hands-on Guide to More Confident Buying and Selling and Chris Ciunci of TribalVision in Providence, Rhode Island. The program was developed and sponsored by the MJSA Education Foundation.
There will also be three special educational events at the expo, including a special MJSA Journal Live in which the latest welding and CAD/CAM technologies will be available for testing and comparison. "Attendees have told us that the educational program is a vital part of the expo experience and they rely on it to keep them informed and inspired," said MJSA's president and CEO, David W. Cochran. "This year's program has been developed to not just meet but exceed those expectations, covering everything from the latest revolutionary technologies to crucial technical and marketing practices."
