... though not as much fun as our event of course ;->!
> A little bit short notice I am afraid, but it has been a while since
> the last event so I thought it was important we should have one!
> Please do try to fit it into your diary if at all possible - should be
> a good one.
> This month will be a joint event with the Informatics Ventures Mobile
> Apps Group (http://www.informatics-ventures.com/connect/mobile-apps-
> group), and as such will follow their normal formula of an evening
> event, with beer and pizza to keep us going, in the wonderful Inspace
> (http://inspace.mediascot.org/).
> There will be no charge to attend but advance registration is required
> via eventbrite:
> http://momoedimar11.eventbrite.com/
> The theme will be a series of three short reflections on what we
> heard, saw, and achieved at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a
> fortnight ago, taken with a variety of interesting twists:
> Simon Vansintjan of Tigatag (http://www.tigatag.com/) will provide his
> impressions of a first visit to MWC from a new startup's point of
> view. In particular I am keen to hear how they blagged their way into
> the invite-only Qualcomm party!
> Alisdair Gunn of Interactive Scotland (https://www.scottish-
> enterprise.com/microsites/interactivescotland.aspx), a veteran of 5
> visits to MWC and many more in the industry, will provide the somewhat
> more worldly-wise (and perhaps cynical?) point of view. He will
> provide his take on who the new players are, and what the markets
> expect and are looking for.
> My own particular focus this year (my 8th visit - eek!) was to review
> the changes to the landscape of mobile platforms driven by
> announcements leading up to and during MWC with a view to what our
> support priorities at Mobile Acuity (http://www.mobileacuity.com/)
> should be going forward.
> This is of course a topic which makes for strong opinions, and thus
> where I am guaranteed to be wrong from someone's point of at almost
> every stage. I certainly don't plan to shy away from that, and will
> have a sheet of Android stickers I managed to sweet talk out of a
> Google PR lady available for all right thinking people present ;->!
> Each talk will be fairly short (20 minutes or so), and interaction and
> discussion will be encouraged.
> Look forward to seeing folks a week on Monday!
