Get your (discounted) Mobile 2.0 conference tickets here

mobile-20-conference-1Are you an executive or developer trying to make sense of the fragmented but fast-growing mobile industry?

If so, you should seriously consider attending the Mobile 2.0 conference that kicks off tomorrow. The main theme this year is how to deliver applications and services across mobile platforms (horizontally), and not just via an application store (vertically). Too much splintering, too many app stores.

VentureBeat has forged a partnership with the conference. The winner of our MobileBeat conference start-up competition automatically gets a slot to present at Mobile 2.o. Thus, IQ Engines, the winner at MobileBeat, will be one of the five startups featured at Mobile 2.0. The company actually launched at MobileBeat; it was selected from more than 100 that applied to come. It offers technology that helps recognize images and objects captured by mobile phone users.

The conference’s business track tomorrow kicks off with a panel that highlights the”horizontal” theme: “Developers, Mobile Ecosystem Development & Third Party Services & Applications,” featuring executives from Qualcomm, Sun, 02 Litmus, Symbian and GetJar. The developers track, meanwhile, also follows the cross-platform theme, with panels such as “Building engaging cross-platform content with Java ME and JavaFX: Desktop, web, mobile, and beyond.”

VentureBeat readers get a $70 discount if they sign up using the “TAS” code.

  • For anyone who's interested in learning more about Mobile, this is an excellent event. Eliminates most of the visionary/operator aspirational BS and hits the real issues that startups and developers need to know. Organizers are developers not tradeshow people. Looking forward to it, and thanks for putting it on.
