Qwince has been invited by the International Advertising Association (IAA) UK to attend at Cannes Lions 2015, which was held from the 21st – 27th of June. On Wednesday the 24th of June a number of selected influencial speakers will talk about“Breaking Boundaries – the intersection of Technology and Advertising” .
Gianmarco Troia, CEO of Qwince, introduced the new innovative digital platform, Neuralya, which applies neuroscience principles to physiological parameters (facial coding, eye tracking, skin conductance, EEG, etc.), collected by mobile and wearable technologies to measure the customers reactions to marketing stimulus, evaluating both the conscious and unconscious reactions.

Besides of us, the following pitches are:
John Hook, VP Advertising Strategy at Phunware will talk about the interaction between the Internet of Things and mobile advertising.
Andy Hart, VP Marketing Solutions Europe at Microsoft will discuss “little data, big opportunities”.  With the right message and the right context, any device becomes “the right tool” and any time can become “the right time”.

Jerry Lieveld, CEO and Chief Creative at Dare to Difr will talk about the “poor” world of UI/UX we live in now and how we can improve on Future User Experience and Design by making it more personal and balancing new technology and old technology in a Growth Hacking way.
Here are some pictures of the picth on Neuralya and the impact of new wearable devices on marketing.
