TOGETHER, WE CAN SOLVE THE MOBILE APP DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM. The App Promotion Summit is tackling a major issue, one that the vast majority of key players in mobile have a stake in – how can you best ensure that as many people as possible know about your app? That’s why a conference, one that tackles the challenge head on, makes sense. We’re going to bring together all the different stakeholders, for one day, in a room for a series of presentations, discussions and relationship building. By the close of play on Thursday 11th July your thinking around your mobile app marketing strategy is going to be advanced. You’re going to go back to your desk the next day with ideas for new mobile app marketing channels, approaches and suppliers. {event_type} 2013-05-17T13:30:22+00:00 http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/vancouver_polyglot_conference http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/vancouver_polyglot_conference#When:21:36:55Z The “non-denominational” software development un-conference event that encourages software developers from different stacks, background and with different opinions to come together for one day of spontaneous sharing, teaching and learning. Preceded by a day engaging tutorials and followed by a “just for fun of it” hack day. Polyglot software development is the practice of utilizing multiple languagues, frameworks and stacks to build software. In many ways, and particularly for web developers, everyone seems to have at least bit of polyglot going on these days. For us, at the core of the Polyglot Conference is creating an opportunity to celebrate software development diversity and break away from typically language-specific user groups and conferences to come together to talk about the challenges and interests that we all have in common.   {event_type} 2013-05-16T21:36:55+00:00 http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/open_server_summit_2013 http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/open_server_summit_2013#When:21:53:41Z Open Server Summit 2013, The Only Event Aimed Specifically for the Server Community GET THE LATEST ON HOW TO: Handle Big Data • Make Key Applications Run Faster • Use Open Specifications and Open-Source Software • Develop Private Clouds • Use Public Clouds Effectively • Create Scalable, Cost-Effective Data Centers • Cut Power and Cooling Costs Server Design Summit is the Perfect Event for: ■Design Engineers ■Engineering Managers ■Server Technologists & Architects ■Server and Network Engineers {event_type} 2013-05-15T21:53:41+00:00 http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/telecom_council_entrepreneur_forum_lunch_mobile_security http://www.wipconnector.com/events/entry/telecom_council_entrepreneur_forum_lunch_mobile_security#When:21:20:24Z We’ve heard the security firms tell us for years that mobile is a massive security threat, but seen little in the way of attacks. But the increased use of mobile devices, the increased data stored therein, and the increasing use of BYOD into corporate environments means this threat could now have serious consequences. Join us for our lunch discussion as we discuss the real threats, some real cases, and the real opportunities in protecting people and enterprise from malicious attack.

Is there value to offer, and revenue to be earned in carrying calls? As voice goes packet-based, will we see HD versions, will we see quality increase or decrease? Will it continue to be provided by carriers, or will OTT service providers start owning the customer’s experience? Free to members. Qualified non-member guests may also register for $200.
