#1 The Move Your App To The Next Level Developer Conference - 5/27
There's a movement afoot. People are wising up on how to build great apps for mobile that are designed to make life better. Snaptic, a company I've been helping along the way, is on the bleeding edge of app development that's truly bent on augmenting your brain with your smartphone. And they're putting their money where their mouth is with their Move Your App To The Next Level Developer Conference on 5/27 here in San Francisco.
Here's the scoop....
The Move Your App To The Next Level Developer Conference on 5/27 (Thurs) is designed to help developers, you guessed it, get their mobile apps to the next level! The event has an all star cast of speakers, including the keynotes by Mårten Mickos CEO of Eucalyptus Systems (former CEO of MySQL); Juan Enriquez Managing Partner, Excel Venture Management; George Zachary Charles River Ventures, Brian Chen, Wired; Marius A. Eriksen, Twitter; Jamie Taylor, Metaweb, and others.
Snaptic will also announce the winners from Phase I of their Move Your App! Android Developer Challenge that will send one lucky developer on an all expenses paid trip to Oxford for TED Global 2010 (and maybe even a lunch with Woz!). You should submit your app to the challenge!
The Move Your App To The Next Level Developer Conference will take place from 11:30am to 6pm at Mighty in SF (familiar, eh?) and will segue into an open bar and full-on hackathon deep into the night.
As a member of SF New Tech we can offer you a special 1/2 OFF coupon. Yep, that's right, 50% off. Just use the code "SFNewTech". And even better -- the first 5 people to use the code "Bananas" will get in for FREE.

#2 The Best of The French Tech Tour, as selected by SF New Tech - 6/8
I've been a pretty lucky guy. Thanks to SF New Tech, I've scored a
front row seat to some of the world's best new technologies. I get to see stuff before it's ready for prime time. And I get to choose all the ones that I like and then put them on stage at SF New Tech so they can share their latest and greatest tech with you all -- and the world. It's great fun! :)
So when the opportunity to review some technology companies coming over from France for the famed French Tech Tour came about -- I jumped on it. The French Tech Tour is produced by Ubifrance, the French agency for international business development, to introduce fledgling French technology-based companies with the titans of Silicon Valley.
For a week straight they'll make the rounds and meet with the likes of Adobe, Apple, AT&T, Cisco, eBay, Fujitsu USA, Google, Intel Capital,Microsoft, Nokia USA, Qualcomm, Sony USA, Sprint, Symantec, and Verizon. It's business development on espresso.
As part of the tour, SF New Tech was given the opportunity to review all the companies and hand-select 6 of them to jump on our stage and share in the spotlight on June 8th.
So, with great pleasure, I'd like to introduce you to 6 French
companies I thought would wow the room. You'll notice a slight
departure from all the "Web 2.0" tech we see a lot of... and that's a good thing!
