MANCHESTER, U.K. - Aug. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- The Mobile Money Manchester event on 9 September 2013 is sponsored by Penrith-based mobile software and applications specialist, Penrillian and features a presentation by its founder and Chief Technology Officer, Charles Weir. The theme of the event is Mobile Money & Payments and there is no-one better placed to discuss this issue than Charles.

Charles has been consulting in mobile since the very first days of mobile. He was instrumental in the development of the world’s first smartphone, the Ericsson R380, in the late 1990s. These days the two big challenges that get Charles' greatest attention are mobile money and mobile security.

It's money - allegedly - that makes the world go round, but the current generation of mobile wallet apps have a long way to go before they are ready for the mass market. And security, as always, is a key concern. If you want to understand the anatomy of a successful "money" app, the business and standards contexts in which it will operate, and the systems with which it will interoperate, start here. Mobile Monday Manchester is one of a number of global Mobile Monday (www.mobilemonday.net) events which are informal networking groups. The aim is to share experiences of building and deploying mobile products and services. The monthly networking events encourage lively discussions around topics and trends of interest to the UK’s mobile industry.

If you are passionate about mobile or just want to learn how developments in mobile can benefit your business this is an ideal opportunity to meet some of the experts at Penrillian, all specialists in their field.

The event will be held at Dukes 92, 18 Castle Street, Manchester M3 4LZ from 18:00 to 21:00. To register go to http://www.momomcr.org/
