Date: Monday, Jan 24, 2011
Time: 7:00pm
Location:    ‘Matti’ hall in NDK

Book next Monday evening in your agenda from today!

MobileMonday Sofia (MoMo) starts the new year with its 6th event. On the 24th of January 2011, in ‘Matti’ hall in NDK (near hall 12), MoMo brings back mobile industry professionals around the topic of Mobile Applications and Application Stores. A great chance to gather once again the mobile community with representatives of mobile network operators, value-added service providers, mobile application developers, venture capital funds, entrepreneurs, students, media or just people, passionate about mobile.

This will be the first event fully dedicated on the hot theme of mobile applications – a very dynamic area with great success stories, including from Bulgarian companies. While companies or independent developers were struggling in the past pushing their applications to the market though the heavy process of preloading or via big mobile operators, the arrival of the Applications Stores have democratized the use of applications and have drastically reduced the time to market and simplified the process. Today these stores are part of the strategy of the biggest device manufacturers, Internet players as well as mobile operators, and they are great opportunity for developers with bright ideas.

Our 6th MobileMonday event on the 24th of January 2011 is supported by Nokia.

Attendance is FREE, but please RSVP on the Facebook Event page.
