Celebrating the Heroes of the Mobile Screen
This Monday the world’s leading contributors to mobile technology will gather at the BFI Southbank to celebrate an industry that is transforming how we connect with each other, access the Internet and entertain ourselves with the Heroes of the Mobile Screen event, in conjunction with Mobile Monday.
The event invites industry gurus, along with total newbies to mobile to join several hundred attendants in a fully packed day of insightful discussions, and special insight to the minds of a group of teenagers who will be taking centre stage to share their thoughts on how they use mobile phones. Expect plenty of opportunity to learn about what the future may hold for the little devices that most everyone carries, and for whom many report that they just can’t leave home without their mobile phone.

The line up of heroes from the mobile industry for the day includes:
