UPDATE: MobileBarCodeCamp Has Merged With MobileCamps – NY Event Set For Nov 10th

September 12, 07 //
0

We have merged MobileBarCodeCamp with MobileCamps, since the overlap of both events are big enough to make it into one.

Everyone who has RSVP’d for the NYC event has been moved over to MobileCampNYC2.

The idea is to have a dedicated track for all things related to Barcodes, RFID and Physical Hyperlinking in general. For this track we will have 10 sessions dedicated to one room (although it is still possible to use free spots on the main grid later.) I will be curating this track so please send an email introducing yourself if you would like to hold a session to dharper {AT} wirelessink {DOT} com.

MobileCamps bring together mobile enthusiasts, explorers and professionals to share the current state and their visions for the future direction of mobility. MobileCamps hope to support the many voices helping to unlock the potential of a truly digital life. Topics may include – but are not limited to – mobile gaming, entrepreneurship, social mobility and presence, near field communication, physical hyperlinking, mobile storytelling, the importance of open standards, protocols, and platforms, linux based devices, and mobility on other continents. Nokia Nseries is sponsoring.

Upcoming MobileCamps:
Follow the links below for venue and RSVP information.

Please note that we are going to have a limit of 150 people to take part in this camp so RSVP while you can.

qrcodeMobileBarCodeCamp is bringing together mobile enthusiasts, explorers, authors, designers, architects, producers and professionals in North America to share the current state and their visions for the future direction of mobile bar codes and other cellphone-readable physical hyperlinks. MobileBarCodeCamp hopes to support the many voices helping to unlock the potential of a “hyperlinked first life”. Topics may include – but are not limited to – mobile code formats, mobile code readers, mobile gaming, bar code art, entrepreneurship, social mobility and presence, near field communication, physical hyperlinking, the importance of open standards, protocols, and platforms, and mobile bar code usage on other continents.

We are extremely interested in having the various Bar Code Platform & Reader companies represented at this event.

MobileBarCodeCamp grows by word of mouth (and word of blog). Tell your friends and people that you think will enjoy sharing a day with likeminded.

Go to the BarCamp page for details and sign up.

For those who asked to be involved from a volunteer and sponsorship perspective – yes – we need your help.

Cheers,

Additional Resources
Paul Bennett has started a mobile SEO blog where he maintains a list of useful resources. Paul also formed a Mobile SEO Group where I hope others will join us in further discussion. (UPDATE: Apparently membership is currently by invitation only so if you’re interested in an invitation, please introduce yourself to Bryson Meunier.) Paul writes over at Marketing Pilgrim reporting on Mobile Marketing news with Andy Beal. He was kind enough to write an article about Winksite, “Winksite Shares Some Mobile Love“.

Hey TechCoire, I’ll be away next week on vacation; please don’t push past, say, Mobile 5.0 while I’m away. OK? Thanks. :)

TechCoire presents:

Mobile 3.0 – The next generation of mobile services

DATE/TIME: Thu, Aug 23, 6:00pm-8:30pm

LOCATION: Sacramento Marriott, 11211 Point East Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA

COST: $40.

Mobile technology has come a long way from the days of being simple voice, SMS and even as an email device. The question is while most of the current services are maturing, what new services are likely to emerge and what business models will emerge to support that ecosystem of value added services. Join a panel of experts who will discuss:

What are today’s consumers demanding and tomorrow’s users going to demand?
What are the emerging applications that are already finding a niche?
Will Mobile TV/Video continue to be a niche-play or will it find mainstream?
What are the critical success factors for mobile applications?
Where is the money today? Where’s the spending tomorrow?
