The convergence of cloud computing and the mobile web has unleashed an entirely new wave of product and market growth in the mobile space. That’s why the theme of this year’s Mobilize event is “Opportunity is everywhere.”
Over the course of two days, GigaOM reporters will be conversing with some of the most influential thinkers in the mobile space — people like Square’s Keith Rabois, Twitter’s VP of Engineering Michael Abbott and Pandora’s CTO Tom Conrad — about the key areas of mobile growth, such as the app economy, the use of tablet and other mobile devices in the workplace, the consumerization of IT, designing user experiences for mobile and location-based advertising.
Our livestream of the event begins at 8:25 a.m. PT on Monday, September 26, and 8:55 a.m. PT on Tuesday, September 27, and we will be live-blogging the onstage sessions throughout both days. Please join the conversation on Twitter (use the #MobilizeConf hashtag and follow @mobilizeconf).
