Mobile digital media time is past the tipping point at 51% versus 42% for desktop.

Mobile technology is becoming more important than ever.  There's unanimous agreement that having a strong mobile strategy is crucial for success. A critical component of this strategy includes providing a fluid User Experience across a range of devices, sensors and network connections taking into account the user's environment. It's this combination that's necessary to earn trust and business. 

Our July 14th event will cover important information you need to know if you are either looking to increase your company's competitive edge by designing an effective mobile strategy with user experience as a key component, or providing such design services to your customers.
