LONDON, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The GSMA today announced the NFC Experience at Mobile Asia Expo, an interactive experience through which exhibitors, vendors and attendees will be able to use mobile Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to exchange information and conduct transactions. Additionally, the GSMA announced several new keynote speakers for the Mobile Asia Expo conference programme, as well as new exhibitors and sponsors participating across key programmes at the event. Mobile Asia Expo will take place 26-28 June at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre (SNIEC) in Shanghai.

"We're excited to launch the NFC Experience for Mobile Asia Expo, as it provides attendees the opportunity to experience first-hand the power of NFC technology throughout the Mobile Asia Expo venue, as well as in the Pudong area of Shanghai," said Michael O'Hara, Chief Marketing Officer, GSMA. "We hope that all attendees will take advantage of the many benefits of NFC, from information access and download to retail transactions, among others."

A Mobile Asia Expo First – the NFC Experience
As part of the first NFC Experience at Mobile Asia Expo, the GSMA will showcase an integrated range of mobile NFC services. Attendees with NFC-enabled handsets will be able to utilise NFC technology at locations throughout the SNIEC and the adjacent Kerry Hotel. The NFC Experience features:

  • MAE NFC University Challenge – In this essay competition, university students from around the region are invited to outline their visions for the future of NFC and how it can solve everyday problems; and
  • NFC-Enabled Retail Zone – Attendees can use NFC handsets to receive discount offers and purchase products in the nearby shopping mall.
