The Canalys Mobility Forum EMEA 2009
- Where netbooks meet smart phones

London, 17 November 2009

The inaugural Canalys Mobility Forum will be the place for you to get to grips with the latest developments in the mobile and PC industries. The major players will meet to hear not only Canalys’ view of the issues at stake, the opportunities, pitfalls and likely winners and losers, but also those of their competitors and peers. The latest mobility issues will be discussed in panel sessions featuring the leading organisations in their fields, including PC vendors, operators, OS vendors, channel partners, component suppliers, developers and the media.  

Canalys is uniquely placed to conduct such an event with its two traditional sets of clients drawn from the smart phone and PC industries. This enables us both to convene an appropriate audience and capitalise on relevant analysis and understanding in both areas.  

To register your interest, please contact Gemma Edwards from the events team on +44 (0)118 984 0536.

The Canalys Channels Forum 2009

In 2007 resellers, distributors and vendors headed to Monaco in unprecedented numbers to attend the inaugural Canalys Channels Forum. An impressive audience attended through the participation of the three largest and most influential vendors in the EMEA channel community: Cisco, HP and Microsoft. Independent third-party experts joined with Canalys analysts to debate the topics that matter most to the channel.

The success of 2007 was repeated in February 2009 with the Canalys Channels Forum held in Barcelona. Over 250 attendees gathered at this prestigious event. See the fantastic event feedback here.
