Mobile Jam Session @ CTIA Las Vegas
by Imran Ali
As Las Vegas gears up for CTIA next week, MM2.0 bloggers will be in town to cover the show itself, but there are a bunch of interesting ancillary events and parties shaping up too.
mTrends’ Ruby De Waele just tipped me off about the Mobile Jam Session taking place in Las Vegas on 31st March, the day before CTIA opens.
The format sounds like a lotta fun and productive too. The day begins with an hour of concept and idea pitches from developers, followed by a panel session with participants drawn from Orange, Symbian, Sony Ericsson and Motorola’s developer and partner programmes.
The latter half of the day will consist of six ‘improv’ sessions - Mobile OS & Platforms, Mobile 2.0, Testing & Certification, Getting to Market, Development, Open Source Handsets - where a moderator facilitates a group ‘jam’ or discussion.
This should be an interesting mechanism for mixing people up from various disciplines, whether business, cellco and product guys or developers, hackers and entrepreneurs…as Rudy describes it, ‘new tunes often come from unlikely associations, so…Jam On!‘
If you’re in Las Vegas for CTIA and interested in jamming with this crowd, head over to the official blog + site to request an invitation (it’s free!).
