In this Miscellany ... the hurricane of mobile conferences that was the week of Apps World, Droidcon and others has abated and we are now in the relative calm of the lead up to our 4th November Final of competition for free spaces on the UKTI stand at MWC 2014, organised with our event partners ICT KTN. Plus, don't miss the opportunity to participate in Developer Economics 2014, details below - with the opportunity to win an iPhone 5c, Samsung S4 or Lumia 925 ...
Apps World
We waved the Mobile Monday London flag at Apps World with excellent sessions from Bruce Lawson on HTML5 and Tim Green with an encyclopaedic tour of what's up in Mobile Money. Bruce managed to avoid saying the word that 'App' rhymes with, while still being fervently enthusiastic about the future of the Web and what is coming in HTML5. We've published a round up of that event here together with interviews with Tim and Bruce by Mark Bridge from The Fonecast. Many thanks to Apps World for hosting us.
Droidcon
The same week found The Mobile Academy at Droidcon. A fabulous event, by everyone's account. Looks like The Age of the Wearable has truly arrived, we're going to have to do a focus event on that, let us know if you have something to show ... many thanks to our friends over at Droidcon for hosting The Mobile Academy.
Next Event: MWC Stand Competition Finals

Developer Economics ... win your dream phone!
Once again (for the 6th time) the wonderful people over at Vision Mobile are carrying out their annual survey of sentiment on all things mobile. MoMoLo has been a fervent supporter of this over the years, the results provide some really great research and insights. I'm sorry to say that we don't typically get a typhoon of entries from London, which is a great shame. So let's show our community spirit and make a difference this year!
10 minutes of your time could result in your winning an iPhone 5c, a Galaxy S4 or a Nokia Lumia 925 - plus a load of other cool stuff that I don't have space to mention here ... now come on, get answering the survey!
That's it for now, very much looking forward to Monday.

MoMoLo goes on tour to Apps World with Tim Green & Bruce Lawson
On 22nd October, we picked ourselves up and set up camp at Apps World 2014 in Earls Court 2.
Not only was this a Tuesday but we broke with tradition further by starting with a drinks reception - with thanks to conference organisers Six Degrees for treating us!
Then we got in to our #needtoknowmobile series with attendees of The Mobile Academy airlifted in for the evening as well as a packed house of our usual lovely MoMoLo members.
The first of our two sessions had Bruce Lawson taking us through his guide to HTML5. You can access the presentation here, plus you can listen to a post session interview with Mark Bridge of The Fonecast below.
Next up, Tim Green gave us his 35 Insights to Mobile Payment - see the full presentation here and you can listen to another great interview by Mark below
With thanks again for the invite to be at Apps World and thanks also to all the volunteers and to those of you that came along - we got great feedback and will certainly be doing a road show again!

4th November - Live Finals for MWC 2014 Free Stand Competition
For the 6th year in a row - in association with ICT KTN, UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and Cambridge Wireless - we are pleased to invite you to the Mobile World Congress 2014 stand competition finals event.
The finals will be on Monday 4th November. This is going to be run somewhat like our fabulously popular demo night, and even better there will be "light refreshments" alongside the usual networking drinks. Register here: http://momolo-2013-11-04.eventbrite.co.uk/
At the final, each company gives a quickfire presentation and is then questioned briefly by the panel of eminent judges.
After the presentations the judges will choose up to 5 companies from those presenting — the prize being not only space on the UKTI Stand at MWC but also stand branding, listing in the UK event directory, complementary exhibition passes and assistance with press and media activity to maximise the impact of being in Barcelona.
If this sounds like it could be valuable to you there's still time to apply for the competition - you have till the 25th October (that's this Friday 5.30 pm). Find out more here, or download the application form directly here. To whet your appetite, you can read about last year's event here.
This has always been an exciting event, and discussions can rage as to whether the judges got it right — or not! Either way the prize is certainly worth winning, so come along and see who the lucky winners are …
Judges and Finalists will be announced next week.
Agenda
6.00 Arrival
6.30 Live Final
8.00 Networking (with light buffet)
9.30 Close
As usual attendance is free, but registration is required and is now open on EventBrite
Location
The CBI Conference Centre at Centre Point, the very tall building immediately above Tottenham Court Road tube station, on the Central and Northern Lines. Please use the entrance at street level under the bridge formed by the building itself.
We will share your registration details with our event partner ICT KTN.

Next Event: Tuesday 22nd October – Join us at Apps World for HTML5, Mobile Payments and Drinks
Autumn is well and truly upon us, the leaves are on the turn and we're feeling particularly rebellious.
Here comes the list of differences to our usual events:
