| NFC technology will be integrated into a broad variety of devices: |
• Mobile Phones
• PCs
• Consumer Electronics
• Gateways
• Professional devices such as scanners, kiosk systems, access systems etc.
NFC Forum Global Competition 2009
|
As a developer you will find information on all of these platforms in the presentations and on the exhibition floor. Don't miss the technical workshops where in-depth information is provided by experts from the companies developing the building blocks for NFC.
NFC builds on a lot of legacy technology from contactless chip cards and RFID where you can learn from experts with long-term experience. By combining and enhancing their technologies NFC becomes more and more complex and you may find valuable partners as a platform for integration and product development. And you will see the latest achievements as the technology matures. So there is more than one reason to attend.

And don't worry about the location: Monaco isn't as half as expensive as you may think and all your peers will be there as well.
