Apps World 2010, is adopting a workshop style education format with the aim to address the entire app ecosystem, and the challenge of delivery, development and design of apps across multiple platforms. A truly international event, Apps World will bring together leading operators worldwide, and is the first show to draw in parallels between the emergence of the TV apps store, and the challenge to IPTV and pay TV operators, and the challenges mobile operators face, device manufactures and the emergence of the tablet apps marketplace.
Workshop passes allow delegates to mix and match between the different workshop zones and sessions as they like throughout the day – creating tailored agenda’s to maximize visitors event experience.
