Speakers bios:

Stephanie Rieger: With a background in sociology, design and education, Stephanie has over 10 years experience in marketing, usability and interactive design—with a particular focus on casual gaming and edutainment for kids and tweens. Stephanie has been following trends in mobile learning, marketing, and content for several years and now brings her ideas to Yiibu—a mobile company focused on lifestyle and learning content. Stephanie is based in Vancouver, Canada but spends several months out of each year observing cultural and technology trends in South East Asia.
About Yiibu: During idle moments on the subway, in-between meetings, or running to soccer practice—mobile devices are increasingly becoming an integral part of our lives. They’re also one of the most ubiquitous forms of personal expression and often say as much about you as your profession, the car you drive, or what you choose to do in times of leisure. Yiibu creates small lifestyle and learning applications for those ‘in-between-moments’ you spend with your mobile devices. No shoot-em-up games, stock trackers or productivity applications—just good old fashioned long-tail content for young and old.
