(Web Hosting News) Sebastopol, CA - O'Reilly Media introduces and opens registration for iPhoneLive, a new conference scheduled for November 18, 2008, at the Holiday Inn San Jose in Silicon Valley, California.
Conference chairs Raven Zachary and Bill Dudney are creating a full day's schedule featuring keynotes from visionaries and leading thinkers in the mobile space, "Build" and "Launch" tracks of breakout sessions, and panel discussions exploring the iPhone ecosystem. Some of the biggest names in the emerging iPhone industry will speak in the intimate setting of this new conference.
With less than three months between this announcement and the conference, the conference chairs are putting the program together with an agility and speed befitting the iPhone. Planning to feature the very newest developments and information, Zachary and Dudney both anticipate a conference every iPhone enthusiast should attend.
"The iPhone platform represents a major shift in mobility and provides a compelling opportunity for businesses to deliver products and services, whether native or web-based, in new and exciting ways to a global audience. iPhoneLive will bring together iPhone developers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts for a day dedicated to the emergence of the iPhone platform," says Zachary. "If you're already developing products and services for the iPhone or are in the process of evaluating the platform, this is the place to be."
"I can't wait for the conference! It's going to be a great day filled with some fantastic opportunities to learn about iPhone application and business development as well as a great chance to network with the movers and shakers of this nascent industry," adds Dudney. "The slate of speakers we already have is great, but we are always looking for more. If you have any ideas, please let us know via an email to
