BellevueWA$55 with dinner, $20 without dinnerhttp://seattle.tie.org/TGS/EM/viewevent/viewEventPT?id_event=3468&from_where=chapter_homepageSince the opening of the Apple Application Store last year, Apple has proven that mobile applications can not only be immensely saleable, but that the best can become folk phenomenon. A niche thing until Apple exploded it less than a year ago, the mobile app market will be worth $25 billion in five years, according to Juniper research. “By 2011, the majority of all app-related revenues will come from apps delivered via app stores. Furthermore, not only does the relative importance of offstore channels diminish with regard to app revenues, but that their real value is likely to decline from 2012 onwards,” the report said.

Further, it is predicted that games will remain the most downloaded and best revenue-producing applications, but that Multimedia and Entertainment apps will attract the greatest value-added-service (subscriptions, premium events and additional content) revenue. So, how do we benefit from this explosion in demand in the complex mobile ecosystem. In this event, we are bring together experts who will help you navigate the ecosystem as they focus on the following key questions: 

    * What are the shifts happening in the mobile ecosystem?

    * How are these generating opportunities that we can leverage?

    * How will the shift in power in the industry – among carriers, handset OEMs, app developers etc. – affect your business plans?

    * What are the things that we should immediately work into our people, strategy and operation plans?

 

Who will benefit from this event?

 

    * Entrepreneurs (and those waiting in the wings)

    * Enterprises/Product Companies leveraging mobile channel

    * Mobile app developers

    * Service Providers, Consultants and Analysts

    * Consumers and Prosumers

 

Whether you are a veteran in the industry, an entrepreneur looking to secure your feet in this game or someone who is providing services to the ecosystems, join us for the discussion and be a part of the mobile world!

This is our big bash of the summer, and we'll be rolling in some beer, soft drinks and sweet and spicy barbeque for the occasion.  So even if ping-pong ain't your thing, it's a great chance to hang out and network with some of Seattle's brightest tech minds. The event will start promptly at 4 p.m. at the wonderful Georgetown Ballroom in Seattle's eclectic Georgetown neighborhood.
 
Registration for the Ping-Pong Tournament is now closed.  But, we'll also have a recreational table set up where guests who aren't in the tournament can informally challenge other players.  And, make sure you check back as the event approaches; we’ll have the bracket posted online and we encourage everyone to come out for the festivities. Tickets to the BBQ are still available.  General admission is $45.
