SESSION I: SoLoMo - OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE
SoLoMo uses the geocodes found in consumers’ mobile devices to pinpoint their location and suggest to them the retail venues nearby. It provides more convenient and diverse commercial experiences to them while offering tremendous business opportunities to retailers, such as restaurants, coffee shops and clothing stores. SoLoMo is also a useful tool for non-profit organisations as it can be used to raise social awareness, increase the presence of the organisation and in fund-raising. Education institutions, such as universities and polytechnics, can also use it as a tool for technical training.
This session will discuss the business, social and educational opportunities in SoLoMo.

SESSION II: SoLoMo - CHALLENGES AND CONFLICTS
While an individual’s location can be made available through mobile devices, his/her identity and personal information may also be made known thus making the individual vulnerable to identity theft, hacking and other online attacks. In this session, participants will hear from computer security experts on how to protect themselves from these potential challenges.
This session will discuss security risks for organisations and individuals and how they can make SoLoMo internet safer.
Moderator: Professor Ang Peng Hwa, Chairman of the Internet Society (Singapore Chapter)

SESSION III: SoLoMo - LAW AND DISORDER
While SoLoMo presents opportunities economically and socially, businesses and end users continue to be exposed to potential risks and challenges caused by the level of private information sharing and surveillance. Many things are still experimental and growing at a rate beyond imagination, thus the implication for regulations, laws and policies is immense.
This session will discuss the laws and policy challenges that SoLoMo faces and ways to protect SoLoMo legally.
