FAQs

Who should attend?

This event is designed for mobile developers, engineers and product managers - those at the sharp end of mobile app development. The event will be highly technical and focussed on product. If your expertise lies elsewhere, please consider asking your mobile engineers or product managers to attend.

We've not yet started implementing Facebook in our apps - will this event be useful for us?

Absolutely. We'll have sessions which cover, from scratch, how best to implement Facebook to drive growth. If you've already integrated Facebook, there will be more advanced sessions helping you modernize your integration, and covering best practices and tips for optimisation.

What topics will you be covering?

We'll have sessions for iOS, Android and Mobile Web developers. There'll also be sessions dedicated for Product Managers. We'll be covering Open Graph, social games, Mobile App Install Ads, and our mobile SDKs - but the focus is helping you grow your apps and on helping you implement Facebook's tools and services successfully. In addition, there will be sessions on how we at Facebook build our own mobile apps, and a session successful companies sharing their experience building for mobile.

I've already tried to implement Facebook, but have had some problems. Can I get help at this event?

After the sessions have finished, there'll be office hours over drinks and dinner. This is your chance to spend time one-on-one with Facebook engineers and product managers, to debug implementation issues, and to provide feedback on your Facebook integration.

Do I need to register for individual sessions or tracks?

No. You're encouraged to move between the sessions and tracks to ensure you get the most out of the day.

I've applied to attend Mobile DevCon, but I've not heard back. What's up?

First, please be patient - we'll email you to let you know if we're able to invite you to attend, but we have many applications to review. Otherwise, please check your spam folder in case our email ended up there.

Will Facebook Mobile DevCon be coming to my city?

In 2013, we're hosting Mobile DevCon in New York, London and Seoul. Sadly, there are currently no plans to host Facebook MobDevCon in other cities, but Facebook regularly attends other developer events, so please see which upcoming events we're attending.

How much is a ticket?

Facebook Mobile DevCon is free to attend, but you'll need to apply if you'd like to be invited to attend. Space is limited, so sadly we can't accommodate everyone who applies to attend.

Can I bring a guest?

Unfortunately you can only register for one ticket. If you have a colleague or friend who also would like to attend Facebook Mobile DevCon, they'll also need to apply to attend.

Can I send somebody else in my place?

Unfortunately, tickets to Facebook Mobile DevCon are non-transferable.

What does my registration include?

Your confirmed registration includes a full day of sessions, demos and workshops. As this is Facebook, light breakfast, lunch and dinner will also be provided.

What do I need to bring to the event on the day?

You need to bring your confirmation email to the venue - this email is your entrance pass to the event. If you haven't had a confirmation email, you won't be able to enter the event. Please bring your laptops and power supplies in case you want to code along during the sessions. There will be plenty of WiFi.

When will I receive my name badge?
