5 Things You Need To Know Before Your Business Goes Mobile
Presented by Worthwhile
You'd have to be living under a rock, on a Geico commercial, to miss the trend of technology toward mobile. Most businesses know that mobile is the fastest-growing technology trend ever. But not so many understand how to think about mobile on behalf of a business, or what principles can guide the best timing, the most helpful format(s), the right content.
Guest speakers Will Gray, Creative Director with Worthwhile, and Dan Rundle, CEO of Worthwhile, will discuss five powerful ideas that can help any business to think about—and plan for—mobile more effectively. Spoiler alert: you won't actually leave with a custom mobile app for your company, but you should feel more confident about what mobile means next for you.

Dan Rundle Bio
I rose through the ranks to become the CEO of Worthwhile. Like many of our team members, I’ve found this to be a great place to learn and grow professionally.
I’m a California native who has lived in South Carolina since college, and I’m hoping to visit all 50 states. (Forty down, 10 to go.) I love listening to music with my wife and teaching my girls about the world.
As CEO, my job is to make sure that what we’re doing aligns with our vision, and that how we’re doing it aligns with our values. It's been my pleasure to see Worthwhile grow from 3 employees in a basement to one of the southeasts largest and most respected digital companies.
