Parks Associates today announced the speakers and final agenda for CONNECTIONS™ Europe Summit: Monetizing Connectivity and User Experiences, a one-day executive summit offering insights into business strategies for digital content, value-added services, connected CE, and advanced video devices and services. The event will take place April 27, 2010, at the Mövenpick Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
