Interested in exhibiting at CTIA, but are worried about the cost.
WIP has negotiated a special exhibitor rate for developers and emerging companies. For $1600 you receive a 5X10 square foot booth that is complete for you to move in.

Fill out the paperwork available on the website and send it into CTIA asap while those special spots remain.

We are excited that this time Mobile Jam Session is a Special Interest Seminar for CTIA's Wireless and IT Show in San Francisco.
This is great as it opens up Mobile Jam and Developers to everyone who comes to CTIA and even for those who spend time just looking at the site. It gives developers extra recognition and a special time and place during this big event! Check out our page on the CTIA site: http://www.wirelessit.com/events/event_details.cfm?calID=746
So what does this mean for registration? – 'cause we still want to make sure that Mobile Jam is open to all developers who want to attend.
Attendees must be registered for CTIA, with a minimum of an Exhibitors Pass. You can register on the CTIA site and get one, you can get an exhibitor to offer you one, or we have a number of passes to distribute – but let us know soon so you don't miss out. Be sure to let us know when you 'Request an Invitiation' on the Mobile Jam site.

We recently met with a group of developers to get some advice and input into topics and speakers for Mobile Jam. Here is a sneak peak at the schedule thus far:
10:30am – Noon 'Unpanel' discussion: Opening the Mobile Web
How do we open up the mobile web to ease development and really open up the mass market to consumers? Let's talk about native apps and web apps; suggest common interfaces and consistent security; and review best practices. Contribute to OMTP's BONDI initiative.
1:00pm – 3:45pm Improv sessions
Led by developers and industry leaders alike, where everyone gets a chance to be heard and have their questions answered in small discussion groups with these topics:
- Mobile Security and Anti-viruses
- Mobile banking and payments
- Browsers & widgets
- Device attributes - vendors and mobile use cases
- Porting, Testing and Certification
- Distribution and channels

Mobile Jam Session
Moscone Center, San Francisco
Friday, September 12, 2008
A day for Developers! No ppt, no ties, no panels and it's free.
It all starts as we open up the mobile ecosystem and connect experienced and talented developers, with industry experts and decision makers. We know this is often difficult at big conferences, but the Mobile Jam Session makes it possible.
The day includes:
- An unpanel discussion
- Improv sessions led by developers and industry leaders alike, where everyone gets a chance to be heard and have their questions answered
- Developers pitching their applications
- And a Wrap party!
Topics we will likely cover includes:
- Specific topics such as mobile payments and messaging
- Developer resources such as certification, porting and developer programs
- Tips on penetrating the big guys and getting to market.
Most importantly this event is driven by developers so it all depends on YOU:
- What do you want to hear?
- Who do you want to talk to?
- What do you want to...
