The Centre for Social Innovation, in partnership with TELUS, is hosting a full-day conference on the mobile app space on January 30, 2013 and we are seeking experts who can lead sessions throughout the day. Consider this an open call for participants and discussion topics.
Our focus is twofold:
1. Business: To provide insightful learning sessions for small business owners who have an app or are thinking about using an app in their business.
2. Technical: To provide provokative discussions on the technical aspects/trends for app developers that are designing apps for small business owners.
