(BUSINESS WIRE) - Zsigo Wireless Developer Services presents the sixth annual WirelessDeveloper '99 conference May 5th-7th in Monterey, California at the Monterey conference center. The show, formerly named CelluCommEXPO, is the only conference in the wireless industry that is committed to recruiting and fostering the talents of software developers. This unique event provides a forum for service providers and manufacturers to advertise their technologies and/or platforms to developers who are currently creating innovative wireless applications or those who are interested in working in the wireless space. "As the computer industry continues to spill into the wireless marketplace, and more and more data in transported over wireless frequencies, service providers and manufacturers will be forced to develop new applications to meet the demands of their sophisticated customers and differentiate themselves from their competitors," explains Konstantin Zsigo, President of Zsigo Wireless. "This demand for marketable end-user applications can only be met if wireless industry leaders recognize the value of a developer channel within their business model and can capitalize on its efficiency," says Zsigo. The six companies sponsoring WirelessDeveloper '99 have already seen the benefits of creating a developer channel and will utilize this year's conference to strengthen their programs by presenting their platforms in 90 minute developer workshops to new and existing software developers. These industry leaders include: Cellemetry LLC, Nextel Communications, RIM (Research in Motion), ORBCOMM, Motorola, and the WAP Forum. Sponsoring companies combined with technologies featured by other conference exhibitors will allow attendees to investigate a variety of options for application development. WirelessDeveloper '99 is not only targeted to the software developer audience, but to wireless professionals who would like to learn more about the developer process or are interested in implementing a developer channel within their company or division. The conference's Presidential Workshop on May 5th will feature a series of presentations from twelve industry experts who will address the need for developers within the wireless community and offer advice on building a successful developer channel. Konny Zsigo, President of Zsigo Wireless, will moderate discussion during the Presidential Workshop and will share his own valuable insights on the benefits of recruiting developers into the wireless industry. With a legacy of education and relationship building, WirelessDeveloper '99 offers a perfect balance of meaningful content combined with three hours of exhibition time on May 5th and 6th. The show floor will feature wireless companies showcasing the latest in voice and data technologies in the Cellular, PCS, Paging and Satellite segments. In addition, the exhibit area will contain Developer's Row which is designed for software developers to present their applications and products to attendees and exhibitors alike. "The conference atmosphere encourages open discussion amongst those present and often leads to lucrative partnering opportunities." says Zsigo. "We want WirelessDeveloper '99 to be a place where carriers and developers form strategic alliances. Developers create applications, and carriers need applications to sell." The Wireless Data Forum's Spring Member Meeting entitled "Wireless Meets the Internet" will take place May 4th and 5th preceding the Wireless Developer '99 conference at the Monterey conference center.
