What else can I do?

With Open Source at this critical stage in its evolution to mobile, it is more important than ever for the key players in the ecosystem to make the right connections. This event has been designed to maximise networking. Time for networking has been carefully built into the conference programme and features such as a cocktail reception, a gala dinner, speed networking, face-to-face meeting facilitation and an online networking tool will ensure that you make the necessary contact with your targets.

Public Networking Areas

Key to the proposition of this event is the focus on the meetings and networking.Together with the Networking bar, the public networking areas form the hub of the EXPO floor.Visitors to the show who do not have private meeting facilities, or whose stands are too busy, will be able to use these areas to sit down at ease for unscheduled meetings, and to conduct business meetings in comfortable surroundings.

Open Lounge

This is an integral part of the Exhibition floor where the leading handset manufacturers and the mobile operators will be able to showcase their products and services to the developer community.

This will also include a developer lounge area where the developers can have one to one discussions with the handset manufacturers and operators to develop business opportunities, be part of their developer channel and understand the KEY challenges the community faces towards INNOVATION.

On-line Networking Tool System

Identify prospects, renew acquaintances, explore partnerships and close business deals by booking and confirming appointments at OSIMWORLD before leaving the office.

The Delegate Networking System is an integral part of OSIMWORLD which allows you to maximize your time at the show by enabling you to pre-arrange meetings and fill your diary with one on ones.

This system is aimed at increasing the interactivity between ALL attendees to the show – exhibitors, delegates, speakers and visitors - before, during and after the event. The Networking System is accessed by all attendees to create new relationships and to download the conference papers that are presented during the conference. Delegates can find contact details of those they met at the event and send messages to them, a great way to do business.

REMEMBER, the earlier you are able to register for the event, the greater the number of appointments you are able to secure.
