Apps World Europe brings brands, operators, marketers and developers to Olympia

Apps World Europe (http://www.apps-world.net/europe) is returning to London Olympia on 29-30 November for two days of discussion and insight around multi-platform apps, with some of the leading brands and individuals from around the industry gathering to examine the latest industry trends, and where they’re leading us.

This year’s event includes three separate conference tracks, covering a broad spectrum of the industry’s most burning issues; operator and developer revenue streams, publishing strategies, mobile and tablet app marketing, handset innovation, branding and the rise of the TV app.

With operators, platform and app store owners keen to connect with new developer talent, developers are well catered for at Apps World Europe, with two full free-to-attend tracks across both days delivering advice and insight from leading developers.

Speakers across the conference include representatives from brands like Spotify, Rovio, Google TV, EA Games, SingTel, RBS, BBC, Sky, British Airways and O2; eager to discuss how their organisation is harnessing the power of multiplatform apps.

Ian Johnson, Apps World founder, said: “We feel like this has been a real watershed year in terms of companies recognising the value and scope of what apps represent to their future business activities. The interest in apps has broadened to include marketing professionals across all industries. The opportunity for talented developers to connect with large multinational brands is a facet of the show we take very seriously, that’s why we’re offering the developer streams for free.

“As soon as connected TV takes full hold in the mind of the consumer, we will have a whole new apps revolution on our hands, so I will be looking forward to the TV Apps sessions as much as anyone.”
