Emotion drives buying decisions and logic justifies them… and other insights, June 27-28 in New York

Fear of missing out? Sorry. Make that FOMO: social-speak that captures the notion that emotion drives decisions. If you seek to quantify the connection – with attribution, predictive models, influence and root-cause analysis, and other good stuff – linked to action, impact, and justification rational or not – Sentiment Analysis Symposium speakers will tell you how.

A final reminder, so you don’t miss out –

The Sentiment Analysis Symposium takes place next week in New York. Attend the consumer-markets plenary day Tuesday June 27 or the workshop day June 28 – choose the Customer Journey or the Data Science workshop in the morning and the Text Analysis for Research & Insights or the NLP & Sentiment in Finance workshop in the afternoon – or join us for both days.

Since you’re reading this message, chances are you should be there. The symposium is the first & best conference covering opinion, emotion, and engagement signals in social, online, and enterprise data. Our audience is brands, agencies, analysts, and technologists. You?

Our speakers are not to be missed – covering technology and business applications – and the same goes for the networking and business opportunity.

Our Tuesday speakers?

  • Howard Lax, ex-Kantar TNS, on Emotions, Memories and the Customer Experience

Our Wednesday workshops?
