550 people participated in this year's edition of the two-day Mobile Trends Conference.
The first day was dedicated to business and marketing issues,
whilst the second day was focused on purely technical aspects of designing and creating mobile websites and applications.
We keep wondering whether 2012 really was the year of mobile or if it's going to be 2013.
Our company deeply believe that 2013 is going to be a ground-breaking year for mobile technologies.
Hence why we've just started a major campaign to eliminate computers or laptops from the scene.
Unless you work in IT, you don't really need a computer; a mobile device will do the trick.
I still vividly remember past conferences, during which the majority of participants post to Twitter and Facebook from laptops kept on their laps.
This year, iPads, Android tablets, and smartphones seemed to be the most popular devices.
Mobile network operators in Poland strongly support and promote expansion of MyWallet NFC services to make payments over mobile widely accessible.
As the mobile market becomes increasingly fragmented,
I assume that after a global outburst of new technologies everything will get back to normal once the consolidation phase begins.
It will be very interesting to observe which of the new-born technologies wins the market in the near future.
We're not talking about a revolution or rapid social changes.
What we witness is, in my opinion, an evolution; slow and complex.
Conference participants had a unique opportunity to attend the series of engaging and enlightening seminars on Responsive Web Design and problem solving.
Most of all, particular emphasis was placed on the quality and diversity of lectures and presentations.
We also hold the annual Mobile Trends Awards to identify and honour the best works of the year in mobile technologies industry.
Awarded companies or their products could greatly benefit from the increased publicity and marketing opportunities.
The networking function of the conference had tremendous potential for new business leads as well.
For me, it provided a perfect opportunity to have real world conversations and fun with people who,
until then, had been nothing more than entries in my address book.
First, a huge success; second, a large number of participants; and third, great food.
It's one of the few events in Poland where one can meet so many outstanding practitioners in the mobile field.
In short, it's a "cant' miss" event for the true mobile tech enthusiasts.
