St. Petersburg, - April 20.   Industry professionals from around the world will meet in Orlando, Florida October 2-4 for the Mobile Web Americas Conference and Expo. www.mobilewebexpo.com

The event will focus on how businesses and services can take their sites mobile and capitalize on a market that is predicted to be worth billions in the coming years.

Right now in Japan shopping and surfing the web from the mobile phone is done by over 40% of adults. Here in the United States we are far behind Europe and Asia when it comes to mobile web users, but we are catching up fast.

What does this mean?  “Incredible opportunity for early adapters” says Larry Lockhart, conference organizer “Think about the convenience of shopping or getting information anytime and anywhere, then think about the opportunity for those who are first to serve the market” then he added “It’s wide open right now and the leaders on the traditional web will not necessarily be the leaders on the mobile web”.

The MWA conference has already signed on over 50 of the industries top speakers. The conference has four educational tracks, they are: 

Workshop: Mobile Web 101. An introduction to the mobile web with focus on the market overview, who is using the mobile web, what services are most in demand, forecasts, case studies and more.
