The seminar description: This seminar for content executives will examine opportunities with the launch of iPhone and how it is shifting views of the mobile content platform, and the larger developments in the industry with emerging consensus on open networks and free flow of content. Now that the iPhone is here, how does it move the industry forward? Also, what do the iPhone’s omissions say about the progress that still needs to be made? What kind of services can the industry hope for, as the handset evolves into an open platform? How does all this affect the media and entertainment industry?

The hope with this seminar is to move beyond the lame mobile content conferences from “iDigiBillboaCTInforMEFlywood” that are dime-a-dozen, and have some real discussion in an intimate setting.If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know at rali AT moconews.net.
