The Global App Summit 2014, to be held in Dubai on October 1 and 2, will see industry leaders from across the globe discuss the future of mobile technology and trends including the future of wearable technology, Internet of Things, the Smart City and outline the path for a global app to emerge from the region.

The 2nd edition of the mobile technology event will also feature App Idol Awards for regional app developers, the Pitch Zone for innovators looking to raise capital and the App Expo where more than 75 top mobile technology companies will exhibit their latest apps and mobile developments. Mobile trends will be explored with insightful and engaging panel discussion and workshops by global industry leaders.

The event is held in partnership with Dubai Economic Council and supported by Dubai Internet City.

Hani Al Hamli, DEC Secretary-General, said this event comes in terms of the DEC strategy in supporting the ‘Smart City’ initiative launched last year by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to turn Dubai to one of the smartest city in the world linking the emirate’s government services and the public through the use of smart devices accessed freely using high-speed wireless internet connections.
