Android Open
Over the past few years, Android has grown from a small project in Palo Alto, CA into the most popular smartphone platform on the planet. As such, developers all over the world have taken interest in the platform, providing us with some pretty amazing apps along the way.
O'Reilly Media thought it was about time for a conference to encourage, nurture, and help developers that encompasses the entire Android ecosystem -- everything from app building to revenue models, and what goes under the hood. With that thought, Android Open was born, and this year, Android Police is one of Android Open's media partners.
About Android Open
Android Open is a three day event in San Francisco, CA that runs October 9-11 and is designed for everyone from startup companies to the most seasoned developers to learn about new developments tools and implementation, frameworks, game development, enterprise solutions, performance, security, and a whole lot more.
It's not exclusive to developers, either -- carriers, chip manufacturers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, product managers, IT professionals, enterprise solution companies, and basically anyone else involved in the tech world are all encouraged to attend to learn what Android can do for them.
Not only is this an excellent opportunity to see the power of Android at work, but it's also the opportune time to network, meet with OEMs and manufacturers, and for small startups to start making a name for themselves.
Android Open has a great lineup of featured speakers, including Tom O'Reilly from O'Reilly Media, Mark Gross from Intel, Kiran Presad from Linkedin, and Suzanne Alexandra from Motorola, just to name a few.
