As promissed we will share more details about this years MIT Smart Customization Seminar's schedule and speakers as they get ironed out. Today we can already give you a brief preview of the very first (non-keynote) session of the day:
Session 1: December 4th, 10:30am - 11:45am
Responsive Consumption from Personalized Hedonism to Sustainable Choice
In this session we explore how personalization and customization is changing our understanding of consumer choice and behaviors. Consider the example of apparel: Over one-third of the value of textile industries is wasted on traditional mass production processes including warehousing, shipping, and retailing. Mass customization offers potential to not only reduce waste in back-end processes, but also to help consumers make more informed and sustainable decisions. At the same time, real-time data tracking and new devices for self-measuring are becoming the foundation of new business models and retail formats.
