After successful excursions to the US and Germany in recent months, the Mobile Masterclass series, staged in partnership with Camerjam, returns to London next week with a double-header on Wednesday. In the morning, we will be running the Mobile Finance Masterclass, while in the afternoon, the focus switches to the Retail sector.

Speakers at the Finance event include Millennial Media, mBlox and YOC. The same companies are also speaking at the Retail event, and will be joined by Venda.

The events brings together delegates from the Finance and Retail sectors with mobile experts who can help them put mobile to work. After a brief introduction to each of the mobile experts’ companies and services, we move to a roundtable Mobile Surgery format, with each mobile expert spending 15 minutes with one group of delegates on one table, before moving round to the next table, until each of the experts have spent time with each of the delegates.

More than 100 delegates have registered to attend the two events. Companies and institutions represented at the Finance Masterclass include American Express, Aviva, AXA Insurance, Barclaycard, Barclays, Friends Life, Investec, Lloyds Banking Group, LV=, Mastercard, RBS and Santander.

Retailers coming to the Retail Masterclass include Arcadia Group, Asda, Austin Reed, Boots, Debenhams, Evans Cycles, JD Williams, John Lewis, M&S, Miss Selfridge, New Look, Oasis, Tesco, Westfield Shoppingtowns and Wiggle.
