5 reasons why you should attend Apps World London

Apps have changed the way we use mobile devices, allowing third-party developers with a great idea and resources to develop a new service or platform that can extend the capabilities of our mobile phones, tablets and even the hallowed television.

Recognising the role apps play in our day-to-day lives, the upcoming Apps World conference in London (29-30 November) calls upon some of the top app makers and leading mobile figures to provide valuable insights into the world of application development and marketing, packing its two-day schedule with more workshops than you could possibly dream of attending.

Held in Olympia Conference Centre, Apps World London aims to cover all aspects of the social media and apps ecosystem, attracting developers, operators, OS vendors, content providers and entrepreneurs (and more) to combine and share their work, their ideas and experience of the industry.

The Next Web is teaming up with the event organisers to give some ticket discounts too, but before we get to that, here’s 5 reasons why you should attend Apps World London.
