Qualcomm announces dates and opens early bird registration for Uplinq 2012

Qualcomm has announced the dates for its annual Uplinq event.

Held in San Diego on 27 - 28 June, it describes the conference as 'the only mobile developers conference that offers technical education and vital business connections across multiple leading platforms - Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8, HTML5 and Brew'.

Last year, keynote speakers included Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and HTC CEO Peter Chou, while Qualcomm execs ranging from CEO Paul Jacobs to QIS president Rob Chandhok gave their views on the hot topics of the day.

Perfect situation

As well as the conference sessions and expo floor, there's a pre-event hackathon and the famous Uplinq party, which in 2011 took over part of the historic downtown area, climaxing with a set from Weezer.

Registration for the event is now open, with an early bird discount of 30 percent - tickets a mere $375 - available until March 16.

You can get all the information from the Uplinq website.
