Earlybird tickets to MobileBeat, our conference focused on the tectonic changes happening in the mobile industry, are on sale until tomorrow -- so move quickly.
We've got a great lineup of speakers shaping up. I expect the most valuable part will be the networking in the hallways between sessions. The mobile industry has long been fragmented: Developers have largely been shut out of the platform discussion, because of regulations that have resulted in a quasi-monopoly among carriers. Two worlds have existed, remotely.
We've finished selecting 80 nominees for best mobile companies, and readers are voting on them now -- and the winners will be invited to be part of the event. We'll have a cocktail party afterward for people to schmooze. A more exact agenda will be released shortly, but mark your calendar for July 24. We'll start late morning, and will keep this a jam-packed half-day event.
We've already announced several speakers. We're happy to announce the latest additions: Dan Farber, CNET's editor-in-chief (top left), and Tim Chang, a partner at Norwest Venture Partners, who specializes in wireless investments (lower left). More to come.
Early-bird tickets here. The discount ends tomorrow.
