Come on and Jam with us.

But be prepared – WIPJAM’s are known to be noisy and boisterous because we open up the ecosystem and get everyone talking! We connect experienced and talented developers, with industry experts and decision makers. This winning combination allows for creativity to be generated, information to be found and personal contacts to be made, ingredients that are essential for innovation and good business. (Bring enough business cards.) See you in Amsterdam, or let’s get the conversation started at one of our mini Jam’s* along the way. Yup – it’s gonna be great!

CEO, Wireless Industry Partnership (WIP)

Those that Jammed before said:

“Thanks to your team this is the best events in the mobile world for developers and people interested in development”

“WIPJAMs are one of the few events that are a ‘must attend’ when I am at a conference. It is often more worthwhile than the conference itself!”

“The discussion groups are excellent on two fronts. First, they foster interesting and fruitful discussions. Second, it is a very good chance to show the reps from the big boys that you know what you are talking about.”

“The interactivity between the panel and the audience was truly helpful as were the breakouts. I was able to collect more information of more value at WIPJAM than any other event I have attended for the last few years. (And I attend quite a few!)”

“It's a great crowd that shares info willingly. It solves an important need for open communication among stakeholders.”

Day for Developers

Developers are given free reign at the conference this year, to attend the keynotes, sessions and check out the exhibits. Of course the Jam is where you’ll really want to be. It’s an unconference format where we are serious about NO PPT, NO Panels and No Ties! Booyah!!

  • 8.00 Registration

  • 8.55 - 11.00  Enjoy the OSiM General Conference Keynotes and then Networking Refreshments in the Exhibits area. Take notes as we will be testing you on your retention and prizes given accordingly!

JAM OPENING UNPANEL: Developers’ Influence in Open Source

  • 11.15 - 12.45 Open doesn’t always mean OPEN, rather varying degrees of access into APIs, app stores and everything in between. Where are the leverage points for developers to make their voice heard and get their needs met?

    An UnPanel is made up of industry leads who ask the audience questions. We get started into a lively group discussion right away, so take your seat early.

  • 12.45 - 13.45  Networking Lunch and OSiM World 2009 Exhibit Visits

DISCUSSION GROUPS: Deep Dive on Topics

  • 13.45 - 17.30 Discussion groups are lead by an Industry Leader and Peer Developer to facilitate a discussion on a given topic. It’s the opportunity to ask questions, share case studies, debate what works, what doesn’t and what should. There will be a minimum of six (6) discussion topics, and you’ll get a chance to participate in at least three of them. Each session is held for 40 minutes.

1. Open Services - Apps are no longer bound to a device or platform. ”Open" services can enable powerful, mobile apps. What services are valuable? What’s missing?

2. App Stores - App store mania is upon us. Which ones are the best? Who should really operate them: mfgrs/ operators/ aggregators?

3. Location - Almost every app can use location. What’s the best way to integrate location? What creative implementations have you seen?

4. User Experience - You live & die by user experience, and traditional open source hasn’t faired well here. Where does design and UX fit into the mobile open source equation.

5. Platforms - Let’s take a review of all things “open” and decide which platforms get us to market faster. Is it LiMo, Android, Symbian.....??

It's up to YOU! - This event is driven by developers. You tell us what YOU* want to talk about and the speakers you want to meet.

WRAP UP

We'll end the day hearing from the discussion leaders on what happened in their discussion group, so everyone can benefit. Oh yes, we'll also throw in some other interesting activities throughout the day like case study pitches and a mini hackathon, device giveaways, t-shirts.... Are you convinced yet??
