Just as New England is establishing itself as a worldwide hub for mobile technologies, so is the United Kingdom. The UK is home to an exciting group of technology companies that also focus on mobile advertising, applications, marketing and content. 

Join MITX and UK Trade and Investment, as we discover some of the unique ways in which mobile is being used in the UK from the eyes of the international mobile technologists themselves.  Discussion points will include:

• The technology advancements made in the UK and the role they play in mobile consumption
• The mobile web technological, economic and cultural differences in the United States versus the UK
• Given the discussed differences, what lessons can we learn from the UK and what lessons can we offer to them?
• The role social is playing in mobile developments and the way in which consumers use their mobile devices

As we in New England continue to lead in many areas of mobile technology, the need to understand changes in platforms and markets is imperative. What better way to learn about these changes than through the eyes of leaders in the UK, whose advancements in mobile parallel some of our own?
