O’Reilly Media has introduced and opened registration for iPhoneLive, a new conference scheduled for Nov. 18, 2008, at the Holiday Inn San Jose in Silicon Valley, California. Conference chairs Raven Zachary and Bill Dudney are creating a full day’s schedule featuring keynotes from leading thinkers in the mobile space, “Build” and “Launch” tracks of breakout sessions, and panel discussions exploring the iPhone ecosystem.
“The iPhone platform represents a major shift in mobility and provides a compelling opportunity for businesses to deliver products and services, whether native or web-based, in new and exciting ways to a global audience,” says says Zachary. “iPhoneLive will bring together iPhone developers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts for a day dedicated to the emergence of the iPhone platform. If you’re already developing products and services for the iPhone or are in the process of evaluating the platform, this is the place to be.”
He adds that if you have any ideas, send an email to iphonelive-idea@oreilly.com.
iPhoneLive will attract iPhone developers (and those who want to become iPhone developers), web programmers and designers, project managers, user interface architects, mobile app developers, strategic decision makers, analysts, investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and many other enthusiasts.
In another conference highlight, the iPhoneLive Launch Pad offers iPhone developers and entrepreneurs an opportunity to present their new applications and startups to an audience. Launch Pad participants will receive real-time feedback as the audience votes on the presentations. Launch Pad can accept only a limited number of participants for this program and does not charge a submission fee.
A Sponsor Gallery will offer attendees the opportunity to see the most intriguing new products and talk to their creators. Attendees will also enjoy a closing reception as another informal networking opportunity.
Early registration ends October 14. To register now and take advantage of the early-registration discount, go here.
