Tom Grinsted, Group Product Manager for Mobile and Devices at The Guardian, Mario Garcia, CEO and Founder of Garcia Media, and Luke Miller, user experience designer at Yahoo!, are among the first confirmed speakers for the 7th Tablet & App Summit (#TAS14), to be held during the World Publishing Expo in Amsterdam in October.
The Tablet & App Summit, organised by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), will present mobile news case studies and offer strategies for news organisations for building successful new mobile news products.
“Should we all be designing the way Facebook, Google, or Apple are just because many of our users are also theirs? To some extent, yes, but it’s helpful to further break down the triggers that are uniquely yours,” said Mr Miller in an upcoming Shaping the Future of News Publishing report.
“Mobile has changed how, when, where, and why we access content,” he said. “If our development process neglects this paradigm shift, then our customers will make their voice heard in the worst way.”
