MacTech Conference Sponsor Comments

“Microsoft is excited to be a sponsor of all MacTech events since 2010. MacTech has consistently given us one of the most valuable ways for us to connect with consultants and IT Pros recommending and supporting Microsoft Office for Mac. In fact, MacTech Conference was the best Apple related show we have been a part of in the last couple years.”

– Susie McDonald, Microsoft Office Marketing Manager

“eSellerate has proudly sponsored Mac related events since our inception in 2000 and the MacTech conference proved a wonderful addition to that list. Speakers were both informative and creative (think pirate costume), logistics were effortless and the schedule allowed for both casual conversation and deeper, more serious discussion. In all, it was a well-balanced event that already has us penciling in the 2011 version for attendance and sponsorship.”

– Michele Johannes, eSellerate/MindVision

“We had a very successful showing at the MacTech Conference. Our app sales made the top 10 in the Education category during the event, and I’ve got a large number of pre-release reservations for our new SkyWire product. Our demo was well received, and in addition to the exposure at the event, we got great media coverage. Thanks again for the opportunity.”

Mobile phone sales will hit 1.86 billion in 2013

Over 6.6 billion mobile phones will be in use by the end of 2017, according to CCS Insight’s latest market forecast (www.ccsinsight.com). Two-thirds of them will be smartphones, up from less than 25% in 2012, according to the research group.

In the first three months of 2013, smartphone shipments exceeded those of non-smartphones for the first time ever. Sales of smartphones have been helped by new, cheaper devices, especially, but not only, in emerging markets. The mobile and media analyst firm expects 1.86 billion mobile phones to be shipped in 2013, of which 53% will be smartphones.
