InComm and Affinion Loyalty Group to Speak at Card Forum 2012

RICHMOND, Va., May 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At the upcoming Card Forum and Expo, Brian Parlotto, SVP of Gift Cards, Digital and B2B from InComm, will join Affinion Loyalty Group's Group VP of Sales & Strategy, Charles Christianson, to explore trends in loyalty and engagement as they examine the intersection of stored-value and prepaid cards, social media and the emerging powerhouse of gamification. Social media continues to change the landscape of customer interaction and new research reveals the power of gamification to drive customer and user response and loyalty. The Gartner Group suggests that by 2015, more than half of organizations that manage innovation processes will gamify those systems. These trends suggest powerful new engagement and loyalty strategies via prepaid and other products in the post-Durbin world. The speech will take place on Friday, May 11 at 12:00pm in International Ballroom II at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, Orlando, FL.

At this year's event, attendees will play BoothTag, a new interactive game designed to enhance their conference experience, facilitate networking and allow them to easily collect information about exhibitors. By scanning attendee and exhibitor bar codes attendees can earn points and compete for great prizes that include the latest iPad, courtesy of Affinion Loyalty Group. All BoothTag prize winners will be announced at the culmination of the ALG and InComm session at 12:45pm.

ALG and Connexions Loyalty Travel Solutions, divisions of Affinion Group, will be exhibiting at Card Forum, held May 8-11 at the Omni ChampionsGate.
