Well, ‘powered by MeCast’ is just part of it. The entire event is actually a little bigger. We’ve written about this before, but to recap quickly, MyData 2016 is a three-day conference, starting on the 31st of August, hosted in the beautiful Finnish capital, Helsinki. The conference brings together thought leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, policy makers and executives. The thing bringing them together is that they’re all focused on developing the ecosystem and advancing collaborative approaches to human centric personal data products, services and frameworks. In collaboration and in support of our ongoing partnership, Meeco is proud to announce the launch of MyData 2016 powered by MeCast¹.
Many of you are probably familiar with MeCast by now, but for those who aren’t, MeCast is social in your control and on your terms. Just like Meeco, MeCast is Privacy by Design. It’s within your control, now and forever.
The app makes it quick and easy for you to simultaneously post to your social networks, whilst also creating a back-up and searchable personal timeline of all your social posts.
For conference attendees, whether participating in-person, or engaging with the MyData community in the comfort of your home or office, MyData 2016 powered by MeCast is the hub of personal data activity, conversation, thought leadership and action throughout August and September.
So lets get practical, what can you do with the app?
The MyData 2016 app enables posting to:
- Yammer
- Meeco
And better yet, if you’re not able to fly al the way to Helsinki and experience the midnight sun, you can engage with speakers and topics through both MeCast and the Participate tab powered by Screen.io. This is your opportunity to ask some of the leading thought leaders, those driving the progression of the personal data economy, the questions you’ve always wanted to ask.
It’s also worth noting that the app will be used to communicate the agenda. There’s nothing worse than missing your favourite speaker, so here’s how to get started:Connect to your NetworksSimply tap on the MeCast tab in the App and follow the prompts to connect your social accounts
