PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - May 15, 2008) -
Gigya,
the largest
widget distribution network
and provider of tools and technologies for distributing, tracking and
analyzing widgets, today announced that Rooly Eliezerov, Co-founder and
President of Gigya, will speak at the 2008 iCitizen Symposium: The OPEN
Imperative. He will speak on the panel called "A Universal Open," which is
scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 21, 9:15 to 10:00 a.m. ET at The
Blackwell Auditorium on the campus of Ohio State University.
This panel will discuss the proliferation of personalized and
user-generated content delivered when and where consumers want it. The
iCitizen Symposium is an invitation-only event for an intimate group of
Resource Interactive clients and partners gathered together for networking,
beta 'first looks' and super-charged dialogue. Kicked off in 2006, the
symposium serves as a platform to gather and take a deep dive into the
opportunities and challenges offered by that new breed of consumer, what
they refer to as the "icitizen."
The social web gives a voice to those passionate consumers and offers
effective tools for them to create, share and influence each other and the
brands they incorporate into their lives. As the rules of engagement
continue to change, iCitizen: The OPEN Imperative provides the opportunity
for industry influencers to gather and discuss some of today's most
compelling topics such as:
-- Joining, participating, and influencing the online conversation
-- Understanding the future of social media and advertising
-- What are the psychographic characteristics of the Digital Millennials
As President and Co-founder of Gigya, Rooly Eliezerov helps lead business
strategy and manages the Palo Alto office. With more than 10 years of
marketing and product development experience, Eliezerov is a recognized
pioneer in the development of Internet marketing and advertising products.
