Workshop details:
1. Designing a mobile app from idea to implementation (1.5 hours)

A look into the mobile landscape.
Mobile development, just like engineering is a catch all term that doesn’t quite capture the complexity involved. In this session, we will be exploring what it takes to create a mobile application for your business and what you as an entrepreneur needs to be aware of when deciding when to start.
Although this is a technical session, there will no technical requirements required from the attendees – just an enthusiasm and determination.
