Beta Night – October 24th

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:12:01 +0000

We’re pleased to announce details for what will be the final regular Mobile Monday Brisbane event for 2011: it’s a “Beta Night”, and it will be held again at the Villager Hotel on Monday, October 24th. As always, it’s free to attend and connect with your mobile peers.

So what exactly is a “Beta Night”? Traditionally, “Beta” is the point at which you first expose your innovations to the outside world. It may not be quite finished, and perhaps needs some polish, but it’s ready to receive constructive feedback. That’s what we’ll be doing – looking at the Beta phase of mobile development, and even checking out some beta-stage projects from local developers. We’ll also take some straw polls on what you’d like to see from MoMoBNE in 2012, and we’ll announce details of the Christmas Party and Mo-Movember.

So register now, and don’t miss another terrific mobile networking event. While you’re at it, check out the YOW!2011 Australia Software Developer Conference, to be held in Brisbane on December 5th & 6th this year. YOW are our sponsors for this month’s Mobile Monday event.

There will be questions, answers, and at the end of the night the audience will vote for the best demo of the evening.

Come join us for what promises to again be an inspiring gathering of the local mobile community.

Note: If you’re interested in participating, be quick – we need you to e-mail us by April 4th with a description of your demo, it’s current development status, and any special equipment or network access you need to show it off.

Brisbane Mobile Industry Gathers Again!

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 21:56:33 +0000

Despite some last-minute speaker withdrawals (unfortunately due to illnesses – we hope everyone is doing better now), Mobile Monday Brisbane held another successful event at Brisbane’s Exchange Hotel last night, filling the Corner Bar with interesting talks, discussions and networking.

QUT’s Dr Dian Tjondronegoro, head of the Mobile Devices Lab kicked off the meeting with a presentation on Branded Applications, the growth of smartphones and strategies that developers can employ to help their mobile applications demonstrate value.

Then two terrific local success stories – Mike Boyd of Cupstart shared his story of launching a mobile service from scratch in just a few months, followed by Chris Kettle’s insightful view of just what happens when your application (in this case the brilliant MyMovies application) makes it to the front page of a category on Apple’s AppStore. Mike’s enthusiasm and passion for good coffee was infectious as described the process of launching a new business from scratch, while Chris was able to describe the statistics behind finding yourself in a prominent position on the AppStore, and how it affects business outcomes. Well done to both of these Brisbane mobile entrepreneurs.

To close the evening, Mark White from Locatrix shed some light on a successful grant application under the new Commercialisation Australia funding programs, answering many questions from budding business builders in the audience.

Thanks again to our speakers, and also to our wonderful venue, the Exchange Hotel’s Corner Bar. Next month we will hold our first Demo Night – stay tuned for details and keep Monday April 18th free in your calendar!
