It may be entering its 10th year, but the Mobile VAS & Apps Conference is still evolving.

Organised by Russian app and game publisher i-Free, the 2013 edition - to be held in St Petersburg on 21-22 November - has announced its Mobile Project Show.

This is a new networking opportunity for developers working on games and apps and who are looking for investors and/or publishers.

"We want the Mobile Projects Show to be an ideal meeting place for mobile product owners, investors and publishers," said Ekaterina Ivanova, who heads the i-Free Events division.

"The finest experts will choose the projects we believe to be of the greatest promise, and we'll put those projects in a position of maximum visibility for investors and publishers. For them this will be a fast-track to finding the right project to buy into."

Participation is free, in fact if you're accepted you'll get a 50 percent discount on entry, but applications must be made before 25 October.
