Orange Partner Camp
by Imran Ali
This year’s Orange Partner Camp has been set for 14-16th April in the Portugese coastal town of Faro.
Each year’s camp rings together application providers, platform vendors, content producers, and software houses to learn from France Telecom and Orange, how to access the business and technology platforms of their now 167m global customers.
Personally, I prefer the free-wheeling unconference style of mobileDevCamp and iPhoneDevCamp as being more productive and open environments to create and innovate. However, by all accounts, Orange partners do extract a lot of value from Orange’s camps.
Perhaps Orange and the unconference community would be well served in co-hosting and connecting their events; building bridges and conversations between the most significant elements of the industry can only enhance each other’s standing and help to solve real user problems.
