Following on the success of App Planet at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, we are excited to bring App Planet to Mobile Asia Congress this year. For three days we will pull together the key players in one place at one time and make App Planet the new Centre of the Apps Universe for the mobile market in Asia.

App Planet presents a unique opportunity to explore the many dimensions of the dynamic and critically important mobile applications market. App Planet provides an abundance of opportunities for developers and mobile professionals from operators, value-added service providers, and equipment and device manufacturers from around the world to connect and network.

App Planet will take place in an exclusive area within MAC10 and will feature an agenda developed for the mobile app community. Whether you are looking for technical knowledge, go-to-market knowledge, or simply the best app-related networking available App Planet will be the place to be at MAC10!

App Planet will include:

App Planet Forum

Prior to the official start of MAC10 the GSMA will present a developer-focused forum designed to bring together developers and industry experts to explore a variety of topics that centers around mobile applications market. The agenda is being developed to engage participants with stimulating and interesting dialogue as well as providing updates on GSMA initiatives in the developer community.

App Developer Conferences

App Developer Conferences (ADCs) are the main focus of App Planet and are conducted by our partners. ADC attendees are given the chance to learn about advanced techniques, platforms, channels to market and the tools needed to make an app a commercial success. These sessions provide developers with invaluable opportunities and direct communication with our platform and channel partners. ADCs are open by invitation only; each individual ADC partner manages, reviews, and selects attendees for their ADC. Those selected to attend will receive a complimentary App Planet Pass, courtesy of the ADC Partner.
