5 Things You’ll Learn at MGS GVC 1.0

The mobile industry finds itself in an interesting dichotomy during this unprecedented time. On the one hand, some apps are seeing record downloads and adoption as a result of COVID-19. Games, food delivery, and retail apps are seeing a boom. On the other hand, transportation and travel apps are in a bit of a bust cycle as everyone is holing up at home. 

But no matter what side of that divide you’re on, it’s imperative that the industry comes together to keep things moving. If you’re seeing a boom right now, you may be wondering how you’re going to keep those users around for the long haul. If you’ve been recently laid off, you’re probably looking to make new connections and reignite old ones. But the usual networking channels have also been disrupted. 

You can’t just meet an old colleague for a drink and ask their advice or head to a conference to mingle with industry experts… or can you? The mobile industry has moved quickly to take their events online, and the Mobile Growth Association has fully embraced the virtual future of events, starting with MGS Global Virtual Conference 1.0 on June 2-4. The event will span four continents in three days and offer everything from virtual chat rooms to an on-site recruiter to help keep the mobile industry moving.

With 100+ speakers lined up, you can expect to walk away with the kinds of insights that will keep your app growing, even through these trying times. Here’s a sneak peek at what the speakers will be talking about at MGS GVC 1.0:
