24th Feb Manchester - Beyond Mobile 2.0 - iPhone and Android as platforms for innovation

ACT NOW (last event was sold out) if you wish to attend the next event on 24th Feb 09 at eOffice Manchester.

Having discussed and debated Mobile 2.0 12 months ago, this time we will discuss the growth of iPhone, Android and other technologies as platforms for creation of new products and services and their relevance to both consumers and businesses alike.

As we are approaching a new phase of mobile Internet, innovative companies are creating mashups incorporating 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, video and location based services. In this environment, it is crucial to understand the strategic and tactical steps that executives, entrepreneurs and investors should take to ensure that they are not left behind with the mobile Internet revolution. Those who develop strategies to improve customer, supplier, employee and management communications using mobile Internet are bound to gain significant competitive advantage.

Do your product roadmap includes mobile Internet? Does mobile Internet form part of your communications strategy? Want to know more? Then this event is for you.

Doors open at 6pm and the programme includes number of prominent speeches, panel discussions and StartUp4Slaughter. We are currently building the event page and more speakers will be introduced over the coming days and weeks leading up to the event.
