The 2015 Global Mobile Internet Conference is heading back to Silicon Valley, according to event organizers. The Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC), for those not familiar, is an event that aims to connect people and companies that innovate the mobile industry for a conference that explores the changing landscape of mobile technology.
Being that this is a global event, attendees can expect executives from companies all over the world. If previous events are any inclination, it is expected that companies from dozens of different countries will be in attendance at this year’s event, which takes place from September 28th through September 30th.
The 2015 event marks the fourth consecutive year of GMIC and in that short time, the event has created quite the reputation. Global Mobile Internet Conference is one of the only US conferences that highlights the impact of Asia on the mobile industry, an industry that is advancing at a rapid pace.
According to event organizers, this year’s conference will include new conference tracks that focus on emerging mobile technologies as well as a startup competition that will showcase high-potential mobile startups to an international investor community. This is a huge opportunity for startups that would otherwise not be able to meet these kinds of investors.
There are a ton of speakers set to present at this year’s event from programs that include:
- Thought Leader
- Big Data
- IoT & Wearables
- Mobile Security & Enterprise
- Mobile Marketing & Growth
- Disrupting Diversity in Tech Summit
- Global Games Summit
- Global Robotics Summit
- AppSpace
- G-Startup
Notable speakers include AltSchool Founder and CEO Max Ventilla, Poshmark Founder and CEO Manish Chandra, App Annie SVP of Research and Analysis Danielle Levitas and GGV Capital Managing Partner Jenny Lee.
Interested in the G-Startup competition? Like I mentioned earlier, the G-Startup competition is the global platform for innovative mobile internet start-ups as well as the leading launch pad that connects them to a wide range of international investors, allowing them to see growth and success on a global scale. And the prizes are pretty awesome too.
