The Cameraphone Summit will take place April 27-30, 2004 at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii.

Panel and discussion topics will include:The Future of Cameraphones and Mobile Imaging and Multimedia Lessons from Japan’s leadership in the mobile imaging market A Revolution in Imaging Hardware and Systems Potential Killer Apps for Cameraphones The Impact of Privacy and Policy on the Emerging Market The Cameraphone as a New Social Medium
The conference’s emcee and co-producer, Mark Resch (who helped produce dominant conference events like SIGGRAPH and the B2B Big Bang!) adds, “The Cameraphone Summit has three objectives. First, we aim to highlight the current hardware revolution, the potential business opportunities, and the pervasive social impact of this exciting new field of mobile imaging and media, including a hard hitting, solutions-oriented analysis of privacy policy. Second, we will support interoperability efforts by hosting and facilitating a series of open standards roundtables and collaboration as the avenue to market acceleration. Finally, we intend to bring innovation into the conference business itself, so that every attendee can leave feeling that this was the most impactful, thought-provoking and productive business networking event they have ever experienced.”
“Cameraphones are definitely the next big thing for the global mobile phone market,” according to Moses Ma, the managing partner of Next Generation Ventures. “Industry analysts are estimating that 125 million handsets with imaging capabilities will be shipped globally in 2005, but we expect the market to exceed these estimates in a surprising manner. The explosive cameraphone phenomenon that we see in Japan today will be repeated throughout the world as we move toward a global tipping point for mobile imaging, unleashing the deployment of radically new and imaginative innovations and applications, which will further drive uptake of the emerging mobile imaging and visual telepresence platform.”
