On Monday 24th September, we see the return of this evergreen topic in our extremely popular annual discussion of HTML5 vs Native kindly supported by the folks over at Keynote DeviceAnywhere. We keep returning to this discussion because to live in mobile is to live in the fast lane! So it’s good to keep up with thinking and the trends that seem to keep changing the picture on an ongoing basis. At our sell out event, last year, we debated the motion: “This house believes that apps are the new ringtones and therefore have a limited shelf-life for long-term commercial …

Successfully marketing an app can mean a wide-ranging marketing strategy that begins well before your app is even live.

Last time we looked at this area was more than two years ago – so we agreed with our event partners ICT KTN that it’s high time to catch up on what’s happening and where all this is going.  We’ll be reviewing the options and discussing their various merits in various contexts in a panel session chaired by David Birch of Consult Hyperion – according to The Telegraph “one of the world’s leading experts on digital money” and according to David, …

We’ve been meaning to hold an event on this important topic for absolutely ages, and it’s an enormous pleasure to announce that we are now doing so to coincide with the launch of Vodafone Smart Accessibility Awards 2012. It’s not just that inclusive design is virtuous, it seems clear to me that inclusive design is “good design” for everyone and is also commercially sensible design. Yet for some reason this is not widely discussed in the context of mobile, but should be. To help us understand this area more clearly Henny Swan (Senior Accessibility Specialist at the BBC) will make …
