MoMo Beijing March 28th Zero Distance MWC2011 & SXSW
Posted on: March 21, 2011 – Filed under: Beijing
We are delighted to invite you to join our March MoMo Beijing event: Zero Distance MWC2011 (Mobile World Congress 2011) & SXSW (South by South West).
The Mobile World Congress 2011, which held in Barcelona from February 14th to 17th, has proved itself a great success. According to GSMA, the congress has attracted more attendees, exhibitors, App developers, and CEOs delivering keynotes ever than before. Industry insighters from China Mobile, Google, QualComm, HTC, Twitter and other major players have expressed their views on the future development of the mobile industry. The App Planet once again became a hit for all audiences, of which over 200 exhibitions have attracted over 12,000 App developers. Hosted by British TV & radio star Jonathan Ross, the awarding session has granted the most successful apps during 2010. The ceremony included the presentation of nine categories of awards, including the first “Global Mobile Apps Awards”, introduced this year to celebrate the emerging trends in applications, as well as the “Mobile Innovation” category, which honoured achievements across vertical sectors such as health, education, finance, transport and utilities.
Just one month after MWC 2011, another major event, the SXSW Congress took place in Austin, Texas in the US. Starting from 11th March, it combines three major topics including music, movie and technology innovation and lasts until 20th.The event has become a launching pad for creative contents (music, film), and technology companies. Twitter, Foursquare and many other companies at their beginning phase used this platform to enlarge their visibility.
As most of the Chinese developers didn’t have a chance to attend these two congresses, we especially invite a few industry insighters who have been to MWC and SXSW, to share their experiences in the next MoMo Beijing event. The speakers will introduce their understandings of the congresses, and exchange opinions regarding the future trend of the mobile industry from different angles. We hope that, through such communication, local developers could have a closer understanding of the international market and deliver more innovation in the future.
**Due to the special purpose of this session, speeches will mostly be made in Chinese while PPTs will be in English. Chinese interpretation is provided for English presentation. We hope non-chinese speakers can still enjoy the session through PPTs and networking section.. 🙂
