iPhone/iPad DevCon is an important educational resource for anyone building or selling iPhone apps. The focused, more conference is designed so that all iPhone app developers, marketers and entrepreneurs can attend — and can even bring their entire development team, thanks to special group discounts.
More than 300 software developers, enterprise IT professionals, “indie” entrepreneurs and marketers are projected to attend iPhone/iPad DevCon.
iPhone/iPad DevCon is owned, produced and managed by BZ Media LLC, which publishes SD Times, the newspaper for the software development industry. BZ Media also produces SPTechCon: The SharePoint Technology Conference..
Alan Zeichick, Conference Chairman of iPhone/iPad DevCon and Editorial Director of SD Times, said, “It’s the new gold rush! Forget panning for yellow metal in California streams, the real money is to be made in writing and selling applications for Apple’s mobile platforms, such as the iPhone, the iPod touch and the new iPad tablet. Hundreds of developers and marketers will get their training this fall at iPhone/iPad DevCon."
iPhone/iPad DevCon will also have a tabletop expo area, where companies can demonstrate their products and services for iPhone developers. For more information on exhibiting, please contact Dan Gaiman, +1-646-454-0932, dgaiman@bzmedia.com
