These photos were taken on day one of APPNation III. APPNation III Conference and Expo was held November 30 through December 1, 2011 at the Concourse Exhibition Center of the San Francisco Design Center. As the name implies, APPNation is a B2B trade show for all things dealing with mobile applications. If you are a developer or want to learn to monetize mobile applications, this is a series of shows you should consider attending.
Day one included a keynote by Doug Purdy, Head of Developer Relations with Facebook. This was followed by workshops, panels and discussions covering topics such as growing the app economy, advice on getting your app discovered and how to monetize them. The expo had a wide variety of exhibitors, including Verizon, Mastercard, Windows Advertising, Flurry, Millennia Media and Playhaven. There were plenty of smaller companies, showing off their new apps and offering ways for you to make money in the mobile application market.
