Mobile, meet world. World, meet mobile. All under the amber Catalonian sky where the shy are given the chance to shine and the great can become greater.
With less than a week away from the world’s biggest mobile event of the year, we’re rubbing our palms in anticipation of what’s going to be unveiled at MWC. Will someone pull a new ,,Steve Jobs” out of the hat? Will there be a new mobile device that changes the face of mobile? What partnerships will be forged, what friendships will be tested at MWC? Who knows? But just like Game of Thrones, MWC will be filled with plot twists and surprises.
Being one of the primary melting pots of the mobile world much like CES, MWC is the place where marketers, social media consultants, developers, visionaries and innovators can draw new borders in the mobile world.
But this year promises some serious changes from last year, and we’re not just talking about a different haircut here or a different event location.
Sadly, this year Google decided it’s going to have a minimal presence. No more slides, no Android pins, no Android shaped cookies and most likely no Android robots that dance samba with you.
We’re going to miss you tasty Android smoothie.
The reasons for this? We could give plenty. From hosting company sponsored events, that are smaller, better controlled and organized to a more specific message. Google has achieved market dominance, so some may argue that their absence from MWC 2013 will actually mean that Google has made their point with Android.
And it doesn’t just stop at Google. Let’s line up a few details about MWC 2013:
A small fraction of details in a sea of possibilities. Part of the beauty of MWC is that startups and new players will get much more breathing room to expand their niche and pitch their vision to hundreds of companies from more than 200 different countries.
There will be plenty of press to cover it and then some, approximately 3000 members getting the scoop on everything that moves.
From conferences, seminars, workshops, showcases, presentations, you name it, next week we’ll stand right in the middle of how mobile history is written.
And we won’t miss it for the world. Appscend’s going to be there with bells on and also the winner of our January contest.
We’re also proud that we’re going to take part in the TechCrunch Mobile Barcelona Meetup, where we’ll compete with seven other startups to see who goes on stage and makes his pitch.
So fingers crossed fellow Appscenders, we’re going with cookies and hope to bring home even tastier ones.
If you’re going there, be sure to check us out in stand Hall 6, stand 6E66. I know what you’re thinking, but someone had to get that spot in the end and it’s better if it’s us. That way we’ll bless the spot with our cookies, charm and awesome mobile apps.
And fret not if you’re not going. After we’re back home we’re going to write away every turning point, all the juicy stuff and innovative gadgets so you won’t miss out on anything.
