Mobile Cloud Summit

The Mobile Cloud Summit will take place on Wednesday 21st September in London. The event will focus on how cloud-based technologies on mobile devices are transforming business and social landscapes.  The event is designed for both business and technology decision-makers and strategists. 

• Get the freshest perspectives on mobile cloud technology from business and technology thought leaders
• Understand the likely impact of mobile cloud on your business
• Be better equipped to make key decisions on which technologies to adopt
• Discuss and debate the business and technology challenges associated with pervasive cloud technologies
• Network with your peers, speakers and delegates during networking breaks, over lunch or during evening drinks reception(s) (all included in the delegate fees) – at The Trampery, right in the heart of London's Tech City area

Background

There are a number of interlocking factors driving mobile cloud computing. Firstly, adoption of smart mobile devices has been dramatic with tablet/pad device adoption ramping up at a frantic pace. Apple iPad shipment growth has been stellar and app downloads now dwarf downloads of music from the iTunes store.  

But rapid device shipment growth is not just restricted to Apple.  Android powered device shipment growth is equally dramatic and availability of Android apps has resulted in head-to-head device wars between a host of manufacturers vying for market dominance. The result is that the pre-eminence of the PC is waning - more smartphones and tablets are now shipping than PCs.  

Second, adoption of mobility is now a global phenomenon - with mobile phones offering internet access to hundreds of millions of people in emerging economies.  3G subscriber growth is now around 35% - with over 700 million subscribers already connected.  With ever-cheaper smartphones becoming available more and more people - previously denied access to the internet - will become connected. 

Profound Impact

With mobile internet-connected devices becoming globally pervasive the effects on business and society will be profound. Consumers will, increasingly, buy goods and services via mobile devices - as well as communicate and network via social media applications in the mobile cloud. Employees will demand the availability of business applications via connected devices. Consumer gadgets will increasingly invade the corporate space - resulting in security concerns, as well as systems challenges. And devices will become embedded - resulting in an explosion of new 'sensor-based' cloud technologies and solutions.

Enterprise Perspectives

The Mobile Cloud Summit will feature speakers that will give a series of thought leader perspectives on mobility, mobile data and the mobile cloud. They will help articulate the impact on business of mobile cloud technologies - equipping delegates with the latest thinking relating to mobile cloud technology and its impact on business and society.  

We intend to have a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions, mini-debates and technology insights over two days.

The event will be designed for the following:

• CEOs and Executives that want to learn about technology likely to have an impact on their businesses
• CIOs and managers with decision-making responsibility for systems and solutions in their businesses
• Business strategists and marketers
• Policy-makers and government officials
• Academics and researchers
• Venture capitalists and fund managers

The conference will have a series of interlocking themes focusing on:

• Mobile cloud market analysis

• Security concerns
• Social implications and the mobile cloud
