ARM Community: ARM at SXSW-Interactive 2011? Don’t miss our panel and party! - ARM Community

It may be shocking, but this is the first year that ARM will be at SXSW-Interactive (SXSWi) 2011 in Austin, Tx. ARM is bringing our unique position and view of the industry (over 800 ARM.Connected Community Partners collaborating and innovating with ARM) to two great events: a Core Conversation on Mobile Payments and a fun Party/Smart Mobile Device Showcase.

Mobile Payments: My Smartphone Just Bought My Beer!
ARM’s own Tom Lantzsch and Vickie Nauman from 7Digital are leading a discussion on mobile payments in one of the SXSWi Core Conversation.

Are you curious about where mobile payments might be moving to in the future and what makes them secure? Making secure payments a reality on mobile devices relies on a complex dance between chip makers, device manufacturers, software developers, content developers, carriers and the banking industry. How is technology and the industry moving forward to ensure consumers can rely on their mobile devices as their mobile pocketbook, and how will these changes shape consumer behavior and content consumption? To find out more, come to our Core Conversation on Sunday March 13^th at 5pm.
