360iDev – Call For Papers Open

June 14, 2010 By Leave a Comment

November is a long way away. I know that.

BUT once accepted, speakers can tweak their topic to their heart’s content, so long as it’s not a complete “Oh well it was this, and now it’s this completely different thing”, so submitting now, or waiting a while, no matter. What matters is not forgetting to submit, or missing the deadline. You can always update your submission as we go before the call for papers close.

I figure the call for speakers will close around July-August sometime.

The way it works (for those of you that haven’t spoken before) is this. You email us with your idea, answering all the items outlined below. That’s it :)

After we close the call for papers, we’ll make selections.

Haven’t spoken at 360|iDev before? it’s easy. We’re probably the most low pressure event around, and we love having new people from the community present. Many of our highest rated presenters, started out as attendees, then decided to share what they knew with the community.

What we’ll need in your session submission:

  • Your name
  • Your Email
  • Your twitter ID or blog address (Whatever you want your name to link to on the speakers page)
  • Session Name
  • Session description
  • Session level (100 – 300+) The more advanced the better, just saying.
  • Session Track (tracks are: Business,  Sights, Sounds, and Interactions, Development Tips and Tricks)
  • Is this session strictly iPhone or iPad? Let us know so we can start marking any such sessions
  • Lastly, have you presented this topic anywhere else. No offense to other events, but we hate stuff that’s made the circuit. It’s cool to show it at a cocoa heads, or NScodernight, but we hate sloppy seconds. The fresher the content the better.

Have a few ideas, submit them all! Sometimes we ask speakers to do more than one session if they pitch more than one awesome idea.

What’s in it for you as a speaker? Well we of course don’t make you pay to attend, but we also cover your hotel stay for 3 nights.

Less quantifiable benefits of speaking at 360|iDev?

  • Book deals
  • New Job or new consulting work
  • who knows, Apple might hire you… just saying, we’ve seen a fair number of people who come to iDev, get snatched up by the mothership…
  • Everlasting fame and (kharmic) fortune

So send in your topic ideas, remember, I’m under NDA too, so if you have an idea that’s not released yet, feel free, and we’ll keep it hush hush until it is announced. No NDA breaking here :)

See you in Austin!

360iDev – The Speakers – Michael Schneider

July 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

One of our more popular sessions at 360|iDev San Jose was Michael’s “legal issues in iPhone Development”

And when I say popular I mean, his session was Wednesday, the last slot of the day, and not only was the room full, but people stayed a good 20 minutes or so over. How many conferences does that happen at. Shoot how many let that happen even?!

Michael is back with more awesome advice in a repeat of the session from last time. Repeat’s a strong term, since really it’s just 80 minutes or discussion, going where attendees take it, which is in the end what we love to have happen.

Overview of legal issues facing iPhone developers as they create and bring applications to market. This session tends to be an open Q&A regarding legal and business issues in iPhone development.

If  you’ve got questions about starting your iPhone business, or have already started but have questions, this session is for you. Don’t miss out on all the great content, 40+ sessions! Register now! You’re not going to find this breadth and depth of content at other events, certainly not this affordably! i guarantee! :D

360iDev – The Speakers – Chuck Smith & Judith Meyer

July 15, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Internationalization is a strange beast to be sure. On the one hand, you want to make the best app with world-wide appeal. On the other, you’ve likely only mastered 1 language. Even if you know 2 or 3 languages, you still fall short from covering the gambit.

Here’s the description from Chuck and Judith‘s session entitled “Internationalizing your apps”,

Want more sales outside of the USA, but don’t know where to start? I will show you the ins and outs of each step that must be taken and give guidelines on what you can do to be sure your apps feel local to everyone around the world, including text, images and the interface itself. You will get step by step instructions on how to internationalize any application. Also learn about the language limitations in App Stores around the world and a nice way to find the right translators for your apps.

The world is your stage and these two speakers will insure you can rock it.  Chuck and Judith both live in Germany, with Chuck originally hailing from the States.  In my book, that offers them a bit more street cred in their talk.  Don’t pretend your native language is the only important one out there, because in a global economy you can bet it isn’t.

Register now to grab 1 of the 12 remaining $360 tickets.  Surely, once you’ve conquered internationalization, the new app sales will reimburse you that $360.  Even if you drag your feet and buy after the price increase, world market sales can surely gross $499.  Like the saying goes, “They may not know me in America, but I’m BIG in Japan!”
