Check Out the NFC Summit at 4G World 2011

4G World’s Special Event: NFC Summit

As the world’s largest event focused on 4G and the mobile web, 4G World is a must for anyone who is also interested in near field communications (NFC) and contactless technology. If you’ve read our previous post on the 4-day conference, you’ll know that 4G World is hosting a highly anticipated special event – a full day NFC Summit.

What 4G World Means to the NFC Industry

The 4G World conference is a venue for current and future industry leaders to share, discuss, and learn the emerging issues and developments that mobile technology brings to the connected world. There are slated to be over 300 sponsors and exhibitors, 200+ speakers, and 80 interactive sessions throughout the course of the 4-day conference event. It’s not just technology and business on the plate at 4G World – the impacts of mobile technology on retail and buying experience, health care, logistics, operations, networks, and consumers will all be issues of discussion throughout the event.

We here at NFC Rumors are especially jazzed about 4G World’s NFC Summit, for reasons that we are sure you can understand. We can see that the organizers have already considered NFC beyond the scope of simply payments, with segments like “NFC in Health Care” and “Revenue Opportunities in Non-Payment Applications of NFC”. NFC Forum will also be leading an Executive Panel Discussion on “Building the Next-Generation Retail Experience”, which should be notably interesting. Other topics in and out of the NFC Summit will include: customer experience, mHealth, M2M, evolution of mobile commerce, 4G technology roadmaps, chipsets, and so much more
