As featured in this month’s Business Edit magazine, Jonny Kirk Director of Enterprise Mobility for TheAppBuilder, made a splash at the recent “Technology at work” event in Belfast’s Waterfront Hall.  Jonny kicked off with an introduction to the benefits of enterprise mobility, before guiding the audience through a number of use cases in series of workshops before rounding the day off in a panel discussion.

We saw high levels of interest and demand for mobile solutions from the Belfast audience, mirroring the worldwide demand we are currently witnessing with many delegates approaching us afterwards to say it was their favourite track & among their top business priorities.

Next week we’re in San Francisco exhibiting at Apps World North America. The nice big booth is right beside Droid World. You’ll not miss us though as our sea of TheAppBuilder red branding does tend to stand out nicely!

We’ll be launching TheAppBuilder Enterprise Edition at the show, so please stop by to find out how enterprises can quickly, easily and inexpensively create mobile apps for events, projects, report delivery, internal messaging and sales presentations.

Thanks to everyone who came to visit our stand last week at Apps World in London. We were overwhelmed by the sheer volume of visitors and the reception that greeted TheAppBuilder.

As well as being able to build your app on the spot we got great ideas for new features to weave into our future roadmap. Remember, the current road map has been published on the blog, and you can suggest and vote for the new features you would like to see on our  Roadmap Forum.

James was a big hit at the Microsoft Theatre, presenting on how every man, woman and child can build a Windows 8 app using TheAppBuilder.

I think the most exciting moments of the show were when people came and showed us the apps they have been building using TheAppBuilder. Everything from apps for bands, sports clubs and schools, to businesses such as restaurants, weight loss coaching, and even a haunted house were shown to us by their creators!

We’ll be on the road again soon, watch this space for an announcement very shortly. Thank you for all your support at Apps World 12. Remember, you can get in touch any time by emailing us at support@theappbuilder.com or tweet us @theappbuilder.

That’s right, the JamPot team is going back on tour with TheAppBuilder. Apps World is one of the leading events in the mobile industry. This year’s event in Earls Court is set to be the biggest yet with over 5000 developers, mobile marketers, mobile operators, device manufacturers, platform owners and industry professionals in attendance.

The entire team is going to be camped out so there will be no better time to meet us face-to-face where we can run you through all our recent updates, and show you sneak previews of the raft of features just about to be released. This really is an exciting time for TheAppBuilder and we’d like to share it with you too. Come along to stand 145 on October 2nd or 3rd – if you’re in any doubt about the location just follow the red glow – as you may know by now we don’t do subtle branding!

SF New Tech:
Is the largest, longest-running, and most-loved tech event in San Francisco with nearly 10,000 members — and growing daily!  We serve the startup community of the Bay Area (and beyond) by providing a platform for companies and developers to showcase their latest-and-greatest new technologies at our sold out events. We’re not your typical, boring business event.  We’re the best place in town to get to meet, greet, and grill people behind some of the most promising new tech in the world.  Expect a few hours of networking (5:30-7:30pm) followed by an interactive show of live demos, Q & A, 60 second spots, give-aways, and more.  (7:30-10:00pm).

Viva La Revolution! And we’re on the march again. Last week Barcelona and Mobile WorldCongress, this week South By Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas.

Mikey Barr, our COO and Matthew David, VP Sales are on a mission to storm SXSW and school the U.S. in how to build an app and have it on your phone in two minutes!

To make matters even better, UK Trade & Investment have selected TheAppBuilder to represent the UK mobile industry at SXSW.  The UK Demo Day, which is being held in the SXSW Startup Village, provides TheAppBuilder team the opportunity to demo this ground breaking product to a select VIP audience of potential clients, media, capital providers and industry contacts, before opening the doors to general conference attendees.

The UK SXSW Demo Day will provide SXSW attendees with an opportunity to try out the best start-up technology coming out of the UK. To celebrate TheAppBuilder representing the UK mobile industry, we are giving all visitors to the UK Demo Day the opportunity to have an app published to the major app stores for only US$1. Visit TheAppBuilder at the SXSW Startup Village in the Hilton Austin, which is directly across from the Austin Convention Center on Sunday 11 March at 3.30pm to pick up your US$1 promotional card.

If you catch up with Mikey or Matt during SXSW (check in at the UKTI stand #1107-1214) make sure to ask them for a revolution T-shirt and $1 promo card. The guys will be at loads of the parties too, including:

• Mashable Party (well they did list us as one of the coolest things going at MWC last week – of course we were going to be on the party list!). Sunday 11th March, Buffalo Billiards – 201 6th Street Austin.
• NI Party. Monday 12th March, British Music Embassy – Latitude 30, San Jacinto Blvd Austin.

We stole the show at MWC12. The crowds were 10 deep and we couldn’t give the press interviews quick enough. Check out the photos from a memorable week.
