The Gamification of Transportation: How Mobile Apps and Social Media Incentives Change the Way We Travel
A Social Media Week Los Angeles Panel
Wednesday, September 24th
6:00-8:00 pm
In historically transportation challenged Los Angeles (where urban sprawl has been known to keep residents confined to their respective neighborhoods), a new breed of mobile apps and social media-enabled programs - that reward urban explorers for…well, being more mobile, and challenge commuters to choose more efficient modes of transportation - is changing how we get around town.
Join us for a SMWLA panel discussion about the "gamification of transportation".
Featured panelists:
Jeffrey Chernick, CEO, Ride Amigos
Robert Gard, Director of Communications and Marketing, CicLAvia
Amanda Ansell, Director of Communications, MindMixer
Moderator:
Andrea Campbell, Vice President, Consensus, Inc.
