OverviewIn July 2008, Apple started the second age of mobile content in the West when it launched the iTunes App Store.

Every other OEM is in the app space now, and Apple has marched towards three billion downloads. 

But it’s not all roses. Consumers are grappling with the sheer volume of apps available, and content providers are struggling to make a living from a market dominated by free apps and a nascent advertising ecosystem.

There’s lots to discuss. Which is why Mobile Entertainment is delighted to present a special conference dedicated to apps and widgets – and specifically how to make money from them.

Tickets & SponsorshipTicket price: £229 +VAT.

Sponsorship: Katy [dot] Grantatintentmedia [dot] co [dot] uk
Delegate Bookings: Jodie [dot] Holdwayatintentmedia [dot] co [dot] uk

The Conference starts at 4:30pm and will be followed by an evening of networking, dinner and drinks.

Tickets are £229.
