MEM 2010 speaker line-up revealed
With the Mobile Entertainment Market (MEM) 2010 little over two months away, organisers MEF and Informa have released a sample list of what they claim will be a 60-strong speaker line-up.

MEM 2010, which is due to kick off on June 22nd in London Victoria's Park Plaza Hotel, certainly won't be short of representatives from the big boys.

Speakers from Nokia, Sony-Ericsson and Microsoft are joined by operators such as Vodafone and O2.

Orange's head of games Neil Holroyd will be talking, while Disney – which has made a concerted effort in the games industry of late – will send VP and head of mobile EMEA Sunil Gunderia.

Showing the conference's variety, augmented reality app Layar is also set to feature with co-founder Claire Boonstra making the list of speakers. Chris James – MD of Pocket Gamer's publisher Steel Media – is another notable contributor.

Coming together

The MEF claims 500 delegates representing markets across the globe are already signed up to attend.

MEM 2010 will cover issues such as content distribution, paid-for and ad-supported business models, m-commerce and growth market opportunities.

Those looking to attend are advised to register on the MEM website, with a range of tickets available. Early bird options close on May 7th.
