Martin has spent his career defining the future impacts of developing technology on business around the world. As a futurist and visionary, in 1998, Martin wrote in his worldwide bestseller Net Future the following: “Wearable computers will venture out of the labs into the workplace, disposable chips will allow appliances to communicate with each other, and more networked devices will connect to more networked devices.” Martin essentially predicted the coming arrival of the Internet of Things two decades ahead of time.
At the birth of the commercial Web, Martin was the founding publisher of Interactive Age, the first publication in history to launch in print and on the Web simultaneously. It was the first publication in history to run an interactive, online advertisement.
As head of Net Future Institute, a U.S.-based think tank that focuses on disruptive business strategies and marketing tactics for a networked world, Martin is on the forefront of research exploring the roles of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things and their impact on consumer behaviors.
Martin is a former Vice President of IBM, where he ran a $1 billion global division responsible for business strategy solutions in the media industry, including publishers and advertising agencies.
He also has been Associate Publisher of Information Week, a magazine targeted to CIOs and information technology professionals and has been an adjunct professor at the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire, where he taught Marketing Research.
Martin has appeared on CNN, CNBC, Fox, Cheddar TV and ABC-TV’s News Now, and is a regular guest on business radio talk shows.
The first major digital transformation was the Internet. That one was gradual, taking years for every individual and business to get online for the first time. The second transformation was mobile, which was faster, since everyone was already on the Internet. The third transformation underway relates to the connecting of billions and billions of devices in every location, the Internet of Things. Chuck Martin has identified seven major digital transforming forces of The Internet of Things: artificial intelligence, digital voice assistants, smart homes, drones and robots, connected cars, sensors, and virtual and augmented reality. Based on his new book “Digital Transformation 3.0” (The New Business-To-Consumer Connections of The Internet of Things), this high-paced presentation puts into context the significance of each of the transformers, highlighting the aspects that matter both in the short and the long term. Digital Transformation 3.0 deals with what is about to impact every business and define the future.
New forms of connectivity and sensors along with the miniaturization of big data are causing previously un-thought of and highly disruptive personalization methods. The Butler Economy, coined by Chuck Martin, is about the transformation of how businesses will need to serve customers who are being connected to everything around them as they go through their daily lives. This session defines the major forces, ranging from all-the-time everywhere-marketing to the end of push-pull marketing.
Over the next five years, $6 trillion will be spent on new solutions relating to the Internet of Things, with consumer spending topping $1 trillion. Billions of sensors will change the entire supply chain, linking supply and demand to time and location. If it moves, it can be connected. This sessions details how to deal with these new dynamics. The concept of loyalty is being reversed: rather than companies looking to identify and reward loyalty customers, it will be the customers who identify, aggregate and reward companies they perceive to be loyal to them. This is the ultimate business-to-customer transformation.

As a futurist and visionary, in 1998, Martin wrote in his book Net Future the following: “Wearable computers will venture out of the labs into the workplace, disposable chips will allow appliances to communicate with each other, and more networked devices will continue to be linked to more networked devices.” This session paints the picture for where the world is heading in The Internet of Things and what business leadership is needed to take an organization there.
