The Rise of User Generated Content Roundtable Lunch is an intimate, invitation-only, informal group of senior marketers from major consumer brands who meet over an interactive lunch. The event objectives are to provide an opportunity for participants to learn from a panel of thought leaders as well as each other while providing a unique and valuable networking experience for all.[push h=15]

Our panelists will answer the following questions:

• • What spawned your initial interest in UGC?

  • Could you describe the value, be it ROI or other metrics, that that you’ve derived and hope to derive from the deployment of UGC?

  • What sorts of challenges have you encountered in the adoption of UGC? Rights and legal issues? Sourcing?

  • What are your upcoming plans to utilize UGC, either on your website or on other digital platforms?

  • Who is winning the use of UGC?

  • What are you some interesting ideas around using UGC for brands that you have–whether is be your own or some other brand?

  • What consumer insights may be gained from UGC?

  • How do you think brands’ use of UGC will evolve in the next 3 years?
