Why not include the SVG Mobile within the SVG conference and make it a bigger impact.
I work in planning events for organisers in the exhibition industry in the UK and have seen many sucesses where a smaller player (not saying SVG is a small player) is included within the event. For example, a large machinery show included a smaller exhibition alongside it called Tooling. The Tooling show expanded due to interests from the Machinery show and is now 30-40% of the overall exhibition. Maybe the same could be done for SVG where you have *The SVG Mobile and Desktop Conference 2006 *An Event showcasing mobile SVG and desktop products from major players such as company1...blah....blah blah...loads of blahh etc.. the latest in....company massive...blah (hope you get my drift. I would say you will get more companies/developers exhibiting from both sides, okay so more may come from the mobile area but does not mean they will not be interested in the desktop side. Its only a thought but I presume the SVG Conference is a non-profit organisation so the budget is not there for marketing etc.. If whoever organises the event is interested in the above suggestion I could possibly ask contacts in the industry (leading event organisers) about how to move forward etc. and possibly any help they may give. Maybe an event that is currently ongoing in the mobile arena I could ask if they would include a seminar conference part to it etc... If I dont know someone, i pretty much know someone who does. If you dont ask you dont get so I will definitely suggest it to some people within the industry if the organisers of the SVG Conference are willing for me to ask.
