Part of Conferences.
Mobilism, 27th of March in Amsterdam, is going to be a stellar conference. All the content is in, and we're excited. What about you? Judge for yourself.
Mobilism 2015 will take place on 27th of March in Amsterdam. Today, our full line-up was revealed. Mobilism first-timers Petro Salema and Agnieszka Walorska are joined by veterans Seb Lee-Delisle, Stephanie Rieger (and me) to create a nice mix of the new and the familiar.
Back in April I reported that ticket sales for our Mobilism conference weren’t going too well, and that Mobilism 2013 might be the last one ever. I also promised an update in September.
Well, it’s September and here’s the update: there will be no Mobilism 2014.
On 16th and 17th of May we will organise the third edition of Mobilism, the mobile web conference.
We have one speaker change: unfortunately Thomas Fuchs was not able to make it. We have found Remy Sharp willing to take over the slot and the topic: JavaScript frameworks in an increasingly mobile (and thus memory- and processor-challenged) world.
On Wednesday 15th of May, the day before Mobilism, we have organised two technical platform workshops: one for Firefox OS and one for BlackBerry 10. Both are half-day workshops and a ticket for the two of them costs only €150.
On 16th and 17th of May the third edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Mobilism is once more going to be special this year, not only for its speaker line-up, on which more below, but also because this could well be the last Mobilism.
Mobilism is getting mobiler and mobiler, if that's proper English - and even if it isn't. Today we have three new speakers and two workshops to announce.
On 16th and 17th of May we’ll organise Mobilism, the mobile web conference, in Amsterdam. Today we unveil two new speakers as well as our MC.
Also, early bird is running out. We've only got 30 early-bird tickets left, and they will run until January 25th, so if you want to save €100, you’d better hurry.
8 January 2013
We are excited to announce that Mat Marquis and Sara Wachter Boettcher will join the expanding Mobilism 2013 line-up. With Sara discussing content strategy and Mat sharing his responsive images knowledge, the range of topics is broadening; and it will broaden once more when we announce our next batch of speakers.
Early-bird tickets, which save you €100, will be available until 25th of January, or until they sell out. Currently they aren't sold out, though that may change quickly.
See you in May!
28 November 2012
Mobilism 2013 will take place on 16th and 17th of May in Amsterdam. Today we're very glad to be able to announce two more Mobilism 2013 speakers:
On 16th and 17th of May the third edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Today we're happy to announce two more speakers: Jake Archibald, who by then will be a Google developer advocate, and Josh Clark, mobile user experience designer extraordinaire and author of Tapworthy.
Wow. Mobilism 2012 is done, and it was a lot more awesome than I thought. Not that I thought it would be a dud, but it’s always pleasant when your expectations are exceeded.
In about two hours, at 16:50 CET, Mobilism will live-stream the mobile browser panel.
Moderated by Jeremy Keith, the panel features representatives of BlackBerry, Opera, Nokia, and Google. Just like last year they will discuss the state of the mobile browsers.
So follow our live-stream for an update on the mobile browser world.
In eight days the Mobilism workshops will take place, and in nine days the main conference will start. If you plan on coming, now would be a good time to buy your ticket.
Mobilism 2012 will be sponsored by BlackBerry, Nokia, Intel, Google, HP, Adobe PhoneGap, and Microsoft. Of these seven sponsors, four will give us ten devices each that we'll share out among our attendees:
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
The Mobilism line-up is complete now. We have one more item to announce: a device/network API panel featuring representatives from W3C, PhoneGap, and Blue Via to discuss how web developers will get access to phone functionality such as the address book and the camera, as well as access to payment systems that tie in with the mobile operator.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
Today we finalise our line-up: no less than Brian Fling, principal of pinchzoom, will come to Amsterdam. In keeping with the design-minded philosophy of his company, Brian will talk about the principles of good mobile design, based on a transferral to mobile of Dieter Rams's 10 principles.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
Today one more reason not to buy a Mobilism ticket falls apart because we can announce that Creative JavaScript guru Seb Lee-Delisle will speak.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
Currently our quest is to systematically destroy your rationalisations for not buying a ticket right now. Today we give you no less than six brand-new reasons to attend:
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
For this edition we’re happy to welcome James Pearce, head of Mobile Developer Relations at Facebook. He will shed some light on mobile strategy in general, and will cite ample examples from Facebook's strategy
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
For this edition we’re happy to welcome Heiko Behrens, a programmer and author for over ten years now focusing on mobile. He will share his thoughts on mobile frameworks and how to get the best results out of them.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web.
On Wednesday 9th of May, the day before the conference, we have organised two mobile web workshops:
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web. For an idea what we’re going to do, see last year’s coverage, or watch my session.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Like last year, it will concentrate on all aspects of the mobile web. For an idea what we’re going to do, see last year’s coverage, or watch Stephanie Rieger’s session.
For this edition we’re happy to welcome Lyza Danger Gardner, who started as a web developer and moved to mobile back in 2007, co-founding Cloud Four with Jason Grigsby, who’ll also speak at Mobilism.
If you want to come to Mobilism 2012, 10th and 11th of May in Amsterdam, it’s best to buy your ticket before Saturday. Early bird prices, which knock off €100 of the ticket price, ends with the outgoing year, and why should you pay more than necessary?
Mobilism 2011 was a blast; see also the videos. We’re set to repeat and extend this success in May. with seven world-class speakers, including Ethan Marcotte, Jeremy Keith, Horace Dediu, and Jason Grigsby, who’ll show you how the mobile web works and how you should adapt to it as a web designer or developer. What’s not to like? And even more speakers will be announced later.
See you at Mobilism.
Heads up: the Mobilism 2012 early bird discount and call for papers are ending.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Just like last year we’ll be informed about the current state of affairs on the mobile web from the world’s most renowned speakers and practicioners. For ample evidence, see last year’s session by Scott Jehl of jQuery Mobile.
We’re also proud to announce Scott Jenson as a speaker. He has worked in UI for many years, first for Apple, later for Symbian and Google. He will share his thoughts on the continuing evolution of mobile interfaces.
On 10th and 11th of May the second edition of Mobilism will take place in Amsterdam. Ticket sales are now open; and we have a few very cheap tickets for you — if you hurry.
Today we have given away free tickets for Mobilism 2012. To get an idea of why you’d want a free ticket, here’s Antony Ribot’s session from the previous edition.
Mobilism 2012 will take place on 10th and 11th of May in Amsterdam. The Main Track, for which we are inviting thought leaders from both the web development and the mobilist community, is filling up nicely (announcements pending). Watch Bryan Rieger's video from last year to get an idea what the Main Track will look like.
However, next year we'll also feature a Fast Track for which we've issued a Call for Papers. If you're interested in a 30-minute session to entertain and enlighten our audience about one aspect of the mobile web, submit a paper. The Call for Papers closes on 16th of December, so you still have time.
We don't yet have a specific number of Fast Track presentations in mind; that depends on the quality of the proposals. If we get only two good proposals, there will be only two Fast Track presentations; if we get many more we could accomodate up to ten or so.
Anyway, let us know what you'd like to speak about, send us a link to a video, and we'll see what we can do.
And remember: if you just want a free ticket, track us on Lanyrd.
Yesterday we received the fourth correct answer to the Mobilism contest that allows you to win a ticket for Mobilism, 10th and 11th of May in Amsterdam.
Strictly speaking that would mean the end of the contest, but we’ve decided to make one more ticket available. So if you can identify these ten phones and are fast about it, you can win a free ticket.
The Mobilism conference is still nine months away. If you can’t wait that long for good advice on the mobile web, you could come to one of our workshops.
On 28th and 29th of September we’ll go to Frankfurt, where we’ll settle down for two days in the Pulse Club to discuss the mobile web with you.
On 10th and 11th of May we’re organising the second edition of Mobilism in Amsterdam. The first one was a huge success; see for instance the videos of Luke Wroblewski’s and Nikolai Onken’s sessions.
We’re eager to repeat this succes, and therefore we’re happy to announce that Jason Grigsby, co-founder of CloudFour in Portland and mobile strategist extraordinaire, will join the Mobilism 2012 line-up.
Just a quick note to say that ticket sale for the Mobilism workshop in Brighton on 9th and 10th of November is now open. I will run the Brighton workshop by myself; Stephen can't make it.
Mobilism is bringing its two-day mobile web workshop to a city near you. Today we announce workshops in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Manchester, and Brighton. Ticket sales for Amsterdam and Frankfurt open today. Sales for Manchester and Brighton will open soon; we’ll let you know.
After the astounding success of Mobilism 2011 we lost no time in planning the next edition. Therefore we're proud to announce that Mobilism 2012 will take place on 10th and 11th of May 2012 in Amsterdam.
Incredible! Mobilism 2011 was more than two weeks ago, but it still feels like yesterday. It took me this long to recuperate to the point where I can blog about it. So let’s blog! And let’s watch Stephen Hay’s session while we’re doing it.
Mobilism was a blast; just ask the speakers and the attendees. The worst thing that happened is that the wifi didn’t work for the first hour; it worked fine for the remainder of the conference. If you want specific details on the type, size, and texture of the Mobilism blast, see our coverage page.
Today at 16:00 CET (3:00pm UK; 10:00am Eastern; 07:00am Pacific) the world’s first mobile browser panel will be streamed live from the Mobilism conference in Amsterdam.
Join us LIVE when Andrea Trasatti (Nokia), Andreas Bovens (Opera), Eli Fidler (RIM), and moderator Jeremy Keith discuss the current state of the mobile browsers, technical challenges, and the future of the mobile web.
Update: The video is now online.
In eight days Mobilism, the conference for mobile web development, will take place in Amsterdam. Surprisingly, we still have a few tickets left at this late stage.
In two days we’ll bring thirteen sessions about the mobile web, with speakers ranging from Luke Wroblewski on Mobile First, Steve Souders on mobile performance, Jared Spool on UX, and Brian Leroux on device APIs and creative cursing, to Bryan and Stephanie Rieger on the evolving mobile market and the world’s first mobile browser panel, where representatives of Nokia, RIM, and Opera will discuss their implementations and the problems they encountered.
If you plan on switching to mobile in the next year (and every web developer should at least consider this option seriously), you can’t afford to miss this conference. So what are you waiting for? Order your ticket now!
We are proud to announce that the Mobilism conference, which will take place on 12th and 13th of May in Amsterdam, will feature the world’s first mobile browser panel, in which representatives of several mobile browser vendors discuss their implementations with the audience and each other.
As I announced before I’ll hold a Mobile Web Workshop in Amsterdam on 23rd of March (i.e. next Wednesday). There are still a few tickets left.
On Wednesday 23rd of March I will hold a Mobile Web Workshop in Amsterdam. The workshop will take place in Felix Meritis (Keizersgracht 324), and it will run from 10:00 to about 17:00. Tickets are €300 ex. VAT, and they include lunch. The maximum number of participants is 15.
A month ago Steve Souders announced he was going to shift his focus to mobile. That’s good news, because mobile peformance is pretty much a terra incognita, and we badly need more information. If the pre-eminent specialist on performance wants to figure it all out for us, we’ll be glad to leave the hard work to him.
On 12th and 13th of May the Mobilism conference will take place in Amsterdam. There are still some tickets left, although interest is high.
Conferences are all fine and good, but there’s nothing like learning new concepts and techniques at the feet of a world-class teacher in small groups. Therefore, today we announce two workshops for Wednesday 11th of May, the day before the conference:
Ticket sales for Mobilism 2011 continues to exceed our expectations. The 50 early-bird tickets we released initially are now all but sold.
Since it’s going so well, we decided to release 25 extra early-bird tickets as of right now. So if you want an early-bird ticket that saves you €140 on a mobile web conference with John Resig, Jared Spool, Jeremy Keith, Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith, and several other top-notch speakers, you shouldn’t wait too long.
When these last tickets are sold out, they will be really sold out. We will not release even more early-bird tickets.
Oh, and if you’re in the US rather than Europe, check out the Breaking Development conference, which is also focused on the mobile web. I’ll speak there, as will tons of other mobile speakers.
See you in May.
A quick Mobilism update before we enter the long dark Christmas time of the soul.
Mobilism 2011 takes place in Amsterdam on 12th and 13th of May. We opened ticket sale eight days ago, and already we found 27 attendees. Not bad for eight days just before the Christmas break.
Anyway, the offshoot is that if you want an early-bird ticket that saves you €140 on a mobile web conference with John Resig, Jared Spool, Jeremy Keith, Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith, and several other top-notch speakers, you shouldn’t wait too long. If the 23 remaining early-bird tickets sell out, they’re ... well ... sold out. I even wonder if they’re going to last through the last few days of 2010.
See you in May.
I already mentioned this a little while ago, but now it’s official: Mobilism 2011, one of the first conferences dedicated entirely to mobile web development, will take place in Amsterdam on the 12th and 13th of May, and ticket sales have started.

The mobile web is becoming more and more interesting to web designers and developers. After all, it won’t be that long until the average client will insist on mobile browser compatibility for every site in addition to the usual desktop browser compatibility.
But how do you make your website mobile-compliant? I’ve been working on this problem for close to two years now, but it’s not an easy question to answer.
So I joined forces with Krijn Hoetmer and Stephen Hay to organise Mobilism, a mobile web design and development conference which will be held on 12th and 13th of May in Amsterdam.
