My favorite one day mobile conference, Mobile 2.0 will be held in San Francisco on November 3rd. I’ve attended the last two Mobile 2.0 conferences and consider it a don’t miss event.

For the first time this year the conference is going to feature separate “Business” and “Builder” tracks for the afternoon session.  The builder track looks especially interesting with panels on “Mobile Web vs. Applications vs. Widgets” and “Mobile Web User Experience” and tutorial sessions on “Building, dynamic, compelling, ad-funded, off-deck mobile web content”, “iPhone WebApps”, “Mobile Design”, “Yahoo! Blueprint”, “Nokia Web Runtime” and  “Gears Mobile”. View the complete agenda.

The Business track has some interesting sessions in the morning too.  I’m especially looking forward to the panel on the mobile web and mobile browsers with representatives from Opera, Netfront, Skydeck and Mozilla.

If you will be attending Mobile 2.0 look for me and say hi. And if you’d like to meet for a chat to tell me about your latest mobile web site or service please use the contact form to schedule.
