San Francisco, CA—For its fourth annual mobile photography industry conference, Mobile Photo Connect announced its initial lineup of panelists as well as app presenters. The conference will be held October 25, 2016 at the San Francisco Presidio Golden Gate Club.
This year’s conference will feature a panel specifically about the rapidly expanding opportunities for photo apps to monetize their engaged user base. A range of mobile print product solutions will also be discussed. The following speakers will participate:
Jim Dolce, vice president, Technology and Strategic Business Development, Fujifilm

Additionally, this year’s conference will feature three Show & Tell sessions. Here, photo and video app developers will each demo their apps in four minutes. In addition, 30 app developers will show their apps to the international audience and compete for the Mobile Photo Connect Awards.
