Background Info
The Mobile
Entertainment industry is growing rapidly around the world.
Music, games and mobile TV will continue dominate the mobile
entertainment market for years to come. Other areas that will
boost the market include user generated content, adult,
infotainment and gambling. According to industry research,
revenues are expected to double by 2012 with music still
dominating the Mobile Entertainment Market. By 2012, the music
sector will account for nearly $ 17.12 billion compared to $ 9
billion in 2007. Similarly, the market will go strength to
strength with sectors like mobile games and mobile TV
contributing around nearly $16 billion and $11.9 billion in
terms of revenues respectively. A rapid growth is forecast in
the developing countries and North America but the Asia Pacific
is expected to retain its leadership through to 2012, followed
by Europe with 32 per cent of global revenues. It is clear that
there is significant promise for the consumers to access
entertainment on the go. However, there are some key issues that
still need to be addressed for it to be illuminating. For
instance, adult and gambling sectors could be hindered with
legislations & regulations. But what measures will be taken to
ensure that the industry will deliver?
Mobile
Entertainment Conference & Awards 2008 will identify issues that
could hinder the growth of mobile entertainment. We will also be
analysing the latest development in mobile music, gaming, TV,
video, social networking, and more. Our speakers from leading
companies will share their expertise and provide a valuable
insight with regards to defined topics. This will provide a
unique opportunity for delegates to update their knowledge on
key developments in the mobile entertainment industry. This
one-day event will end up by unveiling the winners of each
category at an exclusive gala dinner.
