Event Focus

In this event, we explore what needs to be done to build a sustainable mobile-tablet-TV content and apps ecosystem which benefits all.  We look at existing best practice for both the app store itself and the apps and content that reside within it.  We also look to the future and focus on what needs to be done now to build a successful future in mobile apps and content.

Unique Interactive Format

STL Partners' unique interactive format, called "Mindshare", gathers together representatives from across the communications, media, internet and technology sectors to explore opportunities to exploit telecoms assets and capabilities to grow business in the digital economy. It is run as a large scale structured brainstorm comprising roughly: 30% Stimulus presentations; 22% Interactive brainstorming with peers; 13% Panel discussions; 35% Networking.
