AC Lion is proud to sponsor of the 2010 PluggedIn Mobile Eco Summit  on Monday, September 20th in midtown Manhattan.  The Mobile Ecosystem summit encompasses 4 roundtables of 90 minutes with high level networking and meetings among participants and attendees.  The roundtable format is an intimate and laid back discussion with a moderator and a roomful of guests who would like to listen to the content of the discussion.  Roundtables are kept intimate in order to foster networking and meaningful discussion. In fact, roundtables have been referred to as “cage matches” for founders, c-level execs and investors, as they allow for honest conversation with insightful back-and-forth dialogue.

Roundtable participants include:

eyeDip, WorldLiveMobile, Toura, MEDL Mobile, Appsolute Media, Fox Mobile, Time Inc.,  WSJ, MTV, Sony Music, Turner Broadcasting,  and Thomson Rueters.

Ah, the days of red carpets, cat walks and engraved invites are going the way of the typewriter and the answering machine.  Effective in their day but vestiges of a bygone era.   Even haute couture is now available on your iPhone.

And here in the Big Apple, Fashion Week brought this to the forefront.  Marc Jacobs has streaming videos of fashion shows, live backstage with Betsey Johnson.

And Burberry hit the ball out of the park.  You can have the best of both worlds: see (and be seen) at the runway show.  And buy that trendy overcoat from your seat with your new app.  Not in NY?  Join the scene at Burberry stores worldwide, watching the fashion show on hi def and buying through an iPad app. 

Who needs buyers telling us what to wear when we can see it ourselves?  Maybe we should just stay home and watch Project Runway next time.
