With one week till Apps World Europe the show has broken all records and exceeded expectations with more than 11,000 delegates pre-registered and a further 2,000 expected in the final week.
The show, which will take place at London’s Earls Court from 22-23 October, will comprise two days of conference streams and keynote speakers that include former Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and EA founder Trip Hawkins.

Apps World founder Ian Johnson said: “We are delighted with the interest in the event and that for the fourth year in a row we have almost doubled in size. Apps World aims to bring together the very latest in apps developments and thinking under one roof – allowing visitors the chance to see and meet best of breed companies that can help them grow and develop. The apps ecosystem is a hugely exciting, but rapidly growing industry, and staying on top of industry developments is key.”
