Wearables, smart homes and trying not to be creepy… these were the topics of a fireside chat with PwC’s Daniel Eckert. Stepping back from the day-to-day tactics of local content and ad delivery, we invited the big thinker to BIA/Kelsey NATIONAL to discuss the macro trends driving tech & media (video below).

As PwC’s Emerging Technology Group CTO, his role is to do just that — spot emerging trends and historical cycles to triangulate where under-recognized pockets of innovation and wealth will sprout. As market watchers ourselves, we love this discussion and had the chance to riff on stage with Eckert.
