I am proud to announce that I’m the featured speaker at Mobile Portland this month. I gave this presentation once already at CocoaSlopes in Ogden, Utah. It was very well received.

The topic from the Mobile Portland site:

The software world has been turned on its head and all the rules that were once taken for granted are now obsolete. Elia has developed new rules for modern mobile apps, learning from his 17 years of running an indie company and transitioning from the old to the new.

Elia Freedman is the founder and CEO of Infinity Softworks. During his 17 years running an indie mobile software company, Elia has navigated the transition from Newtons to PalmPilots to Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, iOS and Android. The rules of making money in mobile has changed drastically in the past five years, let alone the past 17.

Elia’s business is changing, too. In this presentation, “Build Businesses, Not Apps,” Elia will share the thinking that has led to his own business transition, leaving you with plenty to think about in the New Year.

If you would like to attend, it will be held at Urban Airship’s offices, Monday January 27th at 6pm. Hope to see you there!
