It is estimated that over 40 million cell phones with embedded NFC capability will be in the hands of consumers by the end of 2012. As the NFC ecosystem begins to mature and moves from payments to more marketing based applications, there is an increasing desire for business leaders as well as software and mobile developers to understand and learn how they can harness the power of NFC to make consumer connections, drive brand awareness and increase revenue.

Mobile applications, point of sale activity, m-commerce and t-commerce, location based and consumer driven data and message delivery all create new NFC touch points. Businesses need to learn how to use these new tools and this new technology to engage the NFC-empowered customer.
