Keynote Speakers

There were plenty of Keynote speakers who shared their wisdom and insight about what is to come for the world of mobile technology. Jason Bradbury spoke about the future of wearable technology and how it will interact with a wide variety of niches including, fitness, fashion, medical to name a few. Subjects such as app ecosystems were discussed in addition to innovations in the world of gaming, communication and much more.

Each conference isn’t complete without a Hackfest contest where developers enter the ring competing for a grand prize, Raze Blade Laptop and a Parisian Experience and over £1,000 in Amazon Vouchers.

This year the best “hack” was given to Shush with their intelligent app that uses a network of mobile devices equipped with microphones to suggest the smartest routes for cyclists with minimal noise and disruption to their activities.

Covered in this upcoming event will include Mobile strategy, payments and Banking, Gaming, Connected devices, Cloud and Enterprise apps as well as apps for television.
