MobileX Conference
TechColumbus is proud to be a promotional partner for MobileX, a one day conference for entrepreneurs, investors, developers, industry professionals, and mobile enthusiasts that identifies opportunities, explores solutions, and provides technical education in the mobile & related industries.
The advancement of mobile phone and wireless technology has and will continue to change everything we do. As hardware, software, and networking capabilities increase and barriers to entry shift rapidly, more players are entering and leaving the game daily.
MobileX is a conference that explores not only the changes in the mobile industry itself, but also industries it may directly affect (i.e. healthcare, retail, entertainment, insurance, etc.). There will be sessions that equip the technically inclined with actionable knowledge, from our iPhone sessions where we'll teach you how to build your first iPhone apps, to exploring, comparing, and optimizing code performance on completely different platforms. This one day event will feature venture capitalists, developers, entrepreneurs, and industry experts that will explore these topics and how they will affect us moving forward.
MobileX is for those that want to stay abreast of these changes and even be involved in and equipped to make them. It's for those that want to connect with and learn from the right people to make their moves in this exciting industry.
