Ryan Holmes will be speaking about a case study of the mobile launch rollout of HootSuite for iPhone and Android. He will review how they lined up their launch to get maximum exposure, and achieve the 1st place rank in their application category in the app store, 13th place in Canada, 18th place in Japan, and 34th in the US app store for the month of December.

Ryan’s experience combines diverse management skills with solid industry and technical knowledge in addition to academic knowledge through the University of Victoria School of Business and Okanagan College plus hands-on entrepreneurial experience through several start-up ventures including a restaurant chain, a tourist adventure business, and an e-commerce store with 3m+/year revenues. Holmes frequently appears in media interviews, speaks at conferences and participates in industry panels about the future of the social web.

Also, Aaron Hilton (CEO of CellMap, Inc.) will offer his thoughts on Key Value Observing, and a speedy way of using NSPredicates to crunch your data.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
