Cross Platform vs Native Mobile Apps - Panel Discussion
Details
This month we’ll be meeting on Tuesday 24th October at the Flutter offices in Wellington Place. Please arrive anytime between 5:30pm and 6:00pm and sign in on the iPad at reception.

🚨 NOTE If you are attending then please bring with you a form of ID (Drivers license etc.) in order to sign in to the Flutter building. 🚨
We will be hosting a panel discussion on a very interesting (and emotive!) topic…
📱Cross Platform vs Native Mobile Apps📱
We’ll be exploring the differences in these approaches from lots of different angles, such as speed of delivery, their abilities to create quality customer experiences, and how much fun the tools are for app development. We’ll be asking the panel for their opinions on these topics plus others submitted by the audience, as well as finding out how cross platform and native tools are viewed by small, medium and large companies.
On our panel we have 4 individuals with a broad variety of experience in building software solutions.
