This February, the company announced it was rebranding to become The Realtime Report, publishing social media case studies and statistics to reflect the event’s broad focus on all types of realtime business technologies. “The realtime business community uses a broad array of tools to connect with customers at the right time and in the right place,” explained Ries. “The new name reflects where the industry is going and the enormous potential for technology and business innovation.”
