How has the Boston mobile ecosystem grown up? Who will be the next big acquisition in town?
How do high-school kids use smartphones and tablets? What do they expect from the technology in the future?
What does the future of mobile health, retail, automotive, and payments look like? What’s actually hot, and what’s just hype?
If you have these burning questions, as I do, you’ll want to come to our sixth annual Mobile Madness conference. It’s all set for Wednesday afternoon, March 19, at Microsoft NERD in Kendall Square. You can check out the full agenda here.
We’ll have top speakers on hand from Twitter Boston, PayPal, RunKeeper, Intrepid, Fiksu, Ford, MCX, Liberty Mutual, and much more. Plus plenty of networking time, food and drinks, and merriment for all.
And don’t forget, a rant from a startup CEO who hates the word “mobile.”
See you tomorrow (registration is here)—and be ready for anything.
