Mobile Trends Brainstorm - Mobile Twin Cities Meeting Next Week
The tradition of crowd-sourcing Mobile Trends content continues at next week's Mobile Twin Cities, with yours truly again facilitating a trends brainstorm/workshop. Last year this very well-attended event generated a volume of great ideas, research, and content that made it into the creative commons / ready-for-remix Mobile Revolution presentation.
This was a huge success, resulting in a very popular presentation (25,000+ views on slideshare) and multiple instances of reuse. To make this work well, we need participation. No specific prep is necessary, but here's an overview that should give you a sense of how the brainstorm runs.
I'll put up a number of topical areas (examples: Entertainment, Retail, Education...) and the group refines that list, votes the top items of interest, and breaks into groups to tackle a topic accordingly. The bulk of the brainstorm is spent in small group talking about trends in that topical area, pulling up interesting links, references, or stories, and deciding if themes exist for those areas.
This year we're trying to expand the set of use cases and mobile usage stories we generate, and evolve to a more story-driven and less facts and figures presentation. So if you have a killer use case, story, video about mobile - bring it to share.
For specific details on this year's event and to register, see the Mobile Twin Cities site. The meeting is next Tuesday, January 17th at 7pm. Food and drink will be provided, thanks to Pearson VUE who is graciously sponsoring the event.
