On July 24, 10am ET, Stavros Asimakopoulos delivers the next installment of the Foresight/SAS Webinar Series, "Forecasting 'In the Pocket': Mobile Devices Can Improve Collaboration." Based on his article (co-authored with George Boretos and Constantinos Mourlas) in the Winter 2014 issue of Foresight, Stavros will discuss how smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices mean new opportunities for communication and collaboration on business forecasts.

Stavros currently serves as Foresight Editor for Forecasting Support Systems, and Lecturer in User Experience (UX) at the University of Athens, Greece. Formerly a Director of UX at Experience Dynamics - USA, he has over 10 years of experience in user research, forecasting software-design improvements and UX strategy in business forecasting systems. Stavros is an active member of the British Human-Computer Interaction Group and regularly presents his work at the International Symposium on Forecasting. Earlier this week at ISF in Rotterdam, Stavros moderated a panel on forecasting user experience that included Ryan Chipley, Sr. User Experience Designer at SAS.

There is a preview of the presentation available on YouTube, and webinar registration is free.
