Tribal Technologies, Inc. Delivers Worldwide Access to the Global Action Forum and Awards Gala on Three Screens
Mobile Technology Company Pioneers Use of Platform-Independent Mobile Application and Dedicated Social Media Channel to Broaden Reach of Philanthropic Event
SAN MATEO, Calif.,Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tribal Technologies, Inc. has created an innovative mobile application and dedicated social media channel that will allow access to the Global Action Forum and Awards Gala on three screens - TVs, computers, and mobile devices. This technology will allow iPhone, iPad, and Android users, as well as those with the Plex Media Center - available on desktop and laptop computers, and embedded in all 2011 LG NetCast(TM) enabled HDTVs - to experience the Global Action Forum and Awards Gala events, speeches, and award presentations as if they were there. Users can additionally be rewarded for their viewership and subsequent support.
The Global Action Forum and Awards Gala will be held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, Calif. on Feb. 17 and 18. At this inaugural event, Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, corporate leaders, and members of the United Nations and non-profit agencies will share insights and prepare to take action on a wide range of urgent social issues and causes.
Tribal Technologies is a mobile technology company that has created the first intelligent database behind mobile applications that predicts consumer behaviors and interactions, and drives unique mCommerce channels as well as incentive programs. The customized mobile application that Tribal Technologies developed for the Global Action Forum and Awards Gala will allow consumers who view charity-specific speeches, presentations, and seminars from the event to be rewarded with points. These will automatically be redeemed as monetary donations - $1 for each minute viewed - to the correlating cause in the viewer's honor by soon-to-be-announced corporate sponsors. This platform provides incentives for individuals to make informed decisions about charitable giving, and discourages blindly supporting a charity without learning about its mission, vision, and core values.
"We chose to participate in the Global Action Forum because we appreciate its goal of filling the gap between aspirations and reality," said Jeff Martin, CEO of Tribal Technologies, Inc. and Co-Investor and Board Member of Plex. "We feel that we've taken an exciting, yet modest step towards achieving this goal by addressing the digital divide. By making the week's events accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or means via TVs, computers, and mobile devices, we're able to deliver informative content to a truly global audience - including those who may not have high-speed Internet access. Additionally, by providing a platform where corporations can reward individuals for educating themselves about the charities they're interested in - even if the individuals themselves don't have money to donate-we're encouraging people to make informed decisions when supporting these causes in the future. By respecting individuals for their time, interest, and attention, we believe we can create a lasting impact."
Jeff Martin will speak at the Global Action Forum in a session titled, "mPowering: Creating Technology to Mobilize Change Hand to Hand" on Thursday, Feb. 17 at 1pm.
Tribal Technologies' mobile application and dedicated social media channel in support of the Global Action Forum and Awards Gala will be available in March 2011. Additional information on Tribal Technologies can be found at http://www.tribaltech.com.
