March Mobile Madness at Microsoft—The Day in Pictures

Though it was just one small part of Mass Mobile Month, a multi-week series of mobile technology events around Boston, Tuesday’s Mobile Madness forum at Microsoft was the highlight for us here at Xconomy.

Today it’s time to share some of the images captured by our volunteer photographer Kevin Vogelsang. Kevin wasn’t able to arrive until after the mid-afternoon coffee break, so we don’t have images of our opening keynote talks by Jhonatan Rotberg and Kate Imbach or our executive panel featuring leaders from AT&T, Jumptap, uLocate, and Raizlabs. But we do have plenty of shots from the Mobile Smackdown—a raucous session feature passionate proponents of competing mobile platforms like Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, and Windows Phone—and from the Mobile Showcase portion of the program.

We’d like to extend a big thank-you to all of our speakers and attendees at Mobile Madness, as well as a long list of other key supporters. These include our event host Microsoft; our event sponsors AT&T, Cisco Systems, Hosted Solutions, Invest Northern Ireland, McCarter & English, and UK Trade & Investment; and our event partners, including Mass Technology Leadership Council, MITX, the Massachusetts Office of International Trade & Investment, and Mobile Monday Boston.

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
