The App Farm
A free and unique opportunity to contribute your creativity and to share commercial benefits.
An opportunity for mobile application programmers, software developers, graphic designers, sound designers, content developers, and anybody with expertise relevant to the development of iPhone and Google Android apps.
The aim is to congregate, use creative thinking techniques to generate and refine ideas, and form teams for the development of commercial projects. Our expert technical developers will oversee and tend projects from seed to harvest.
If you have something to offer, why not get together with like-minded creative people and see what can be achieved intensively and collectively?
The farm will be managed through a process of collective meetings, lab sessions and remote interaction via social media. The first step is the first meeting on.....?

The concept behind app farming is to work collaboratively towards the development of commercially successful mobile apps. The farm would involve technical review and training, review of successful apps and lessons that can be learned from these, and focused strategies for the collaborative generation of new app ideas.
Successful ideas generated from the event will be reviewed by the CEx:IMA development team and refined for commercial release. All those contributing to the development of ideas will be able to remain involved in development work and take a share of resulting commercial returns.
This event is free to attend, however it is only available to people aged 18 or over and booking is essential.
