As this Partner Camp marks the live launch of the Application Shop, Orange are keen on fast-tracking Orange Partner members through to premium membership, reviewing their applications, discussing contract terms, taking them through Orange Compatibility testing there and then, and granting them the Orange Compatibility endorsement. Ornage belives the Application Shop needs to be full of commercially-viable applications, so wants to work with it partners over the three days to achieve this. For those of developers who are part-way through the process, Ornage will help them complete it at the event.

In line with the Application Shop, the rest of the event will also focus on ‘commercialisation opportunities’, providing attendees with details of how France Telecom will work with its partners, to provide them with the commercial and technical information and training to deliver.

The event also brings together a group of FT employees responsible for searching-out new concepts and finished ideas. Attendees will be able to meet them through pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings, group discussion, and by entering the Orange Partner Camp contest.

Partner Camp costs $595 for three days and two nights, together with food and entertainment. Places for the event, as always, are limited, and this will be the only opportunity to attend an Orange Partner Camp in 2007!
