Yesterday was my last day in the office for a couple of weeks, as I’m heading to Singapore on Monday en-route to the Mobile World Congress, the GSMA’s mega-mobile annual conference in Barcelona.

This will be my fourth visit to the conference and to Barcelona, and this year I’m delighted to be attending as a guest of the GSMA as part of the Locatrix contribution to the OneAPI stand and App Garage demonstrations; I’m also scheduled to participate in a GSMA seminar on Tuesday 16th. There’s also a wave of offsite events and parties – Swedish Beers (Wednesday), Mobile Sunday, Mobile Peer Awards (Monday), and the terrific MEF Party.

This year there seems to be a massive focus on applications; an entire exhibition hall has been designated for the applications world, and it will be an extremely interest place to be.

Between now and then of course I have a stack of work to do, not the least of which is making sure our demos come together OK and of course the travelling. But I will aim to blog from Barcelona in and around what’s happening, because it’s usually an interesting collision of all the mobile tribes from around the world.

Stay tuned.
