The Carphone Warehouse has announced its title sponsorship of The Appys 2010. The Carphone Warehouse stocks all smartphone brands across all the various app development platforms and networks and is, therefore, “an excellent title sponsor of the awards program,” says Stephen Conmy, editor, Digital Times (pictured right).
The Appys with The Carphone Warehouse was conceived by Alchemy Events and Digital Times with the aim of highlighting and rewarding the talent emerging in the app development industry.
“App development is a media sector in its own right now,” says Des Dorris, MD of Alchemy Events. “Apps are now media channels and utility tools and some of the most creative aspects of the new media landscape are emerging from app developers. We want to highlight the great work they are doing.”
The CEO of The Carphone Warehouse, Stephen Mackarel (left) says, “Apps are becoming an integral part of Irish life, and with so many available in the market, it is critical that best Apps and the people who developed them are acknowledged and awarded. As an independent mobile provider and stockist of all brands and operating systems, we wanted to sponsor The Appys to recognise app development across all platforms. We look forward to announcing the winners in November.”
