The research track at the CMC Annual Conference includes:

• CMC Digital Lives 2018: A World of Digital 'Everything' through a Cultural Lens
  The Digital Lives 2018 study looks at two transformative & disruptive forces: digitalization & demography. Digital inhabits every area of our lives today, reforming how we buy things and redefine content creation, curation, delivery & consumption across entertainment, news, marketing and everyday human interaction—in fact, online shoppers make 51 percent of their purchases online with Millennials outpacing that figure. With culture playing a larger role in the American mainstream, this study uncovers how digital is used to gather or provide information, socialize, consume or create entertainment, maximize utility while applying a cultural lens to ascertain areas of similarity, cultural uniqueness or areas of cultural fusion. Moderated by CMC Research Chair Nancy Tellet, this session features a candid conversation with David Chitel, CEO and founder of NGL Collective, and Meghann Elrhoul, head of agency research at Twitter, as they discuss real-life applications from this study.

• Fact or Fiction: The State of the Hispanic Market
  A lot has been speculated about the current state of the Hispanic market.  Everything from the political landscape to the rapidly changing omni-channel shopping experience challenges marketers, manufacturers and retailers to separate rhetoric from reality.
