Background
What do you think about integrating digitized information on cultural heritage and events in your mobile app? These days, a large amount of sources can be integrated using easy API's. Moreover, the open data movement is promoting further re-use of these public data sets.
When Steve Jobs said, "PCs are going to be like trucks. They're still going to be around, they're still going to have a lot of value, but they're going to be used by 1 out of X number of people," he was announcing a new era of computing. It is here and we are in the heat of it! What does that new era really mean? Is the power triangle: Social-Local-Mobile?
Mobile devices have triggered a whole new movement in enterprises; work is not longer linked to location, time or even device.
What are the technology challenges? What are the new possibilities, applications, services or features that will empower mobile workers even more?
Experts on these subjects will cover several interesting topics: Mobile data, Device Management, Mobile Security and Mobile Enterprise Apps.
