SMC Seattle April - Get Social, Go Mobile

SMC Seattle April Event: Get Social, Go Mobile

"Is there an app for that?"

Consumers have gone beyond the practice of simply dabbling in mobile apps: these days, they're downright demanding them. For gamers, it's about passing the time and being social. For others, it's about accomplishing everyday tasks on the go -- like checking bank statements and catching up on the latest news. If businesses don't keep up and "go mobile," they risk losing to competitors who will get there first.

Join Social Media Club Seattle (SMC Seattle) at 415 Westlake on April 26 to hear from panelists who, drawing from their vast experiences in the mobile space, will share how businesses can respond to the huge demand for mobile apps -- and even stay ahead of the trends. Tickets are limited to the first 200 people, so register soon to ensure a spot.

This event wouldn't be possible without our sponsors: Swedish and Spring Creek Group. Thank you, sponsors!
