Developers, YMDC is Back! Yahoo Mobile Developer Conference is Coming to NYC in August

By Jarah Euston, VP of Product

Mark your calendars! The Yahoo Mobile Developer Conference will take place August 26 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. The conference will once again include speakers from across Yahoo (including Tumblr), sessions with app developers and more. Flurry from Yahoo will share what’s new in mobile developer tools, and breakout sessions will help developers solve some of the biggest issues they’re facing in today’s rapidly evolving and growing app market, such as monetization and measurement. We’re thrilled to be hosting our first-ever mobile hackathon the day before, on August 25!

We hosted our first Yahoo Mobile Developer Conference in San Francisco in February, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled by how many developers came out to our inaugural event. Since then, we’ve continued to invest in developer initiatives, such as our monthly Yodel Meetup in San Francisco, and packed mobile developer meetups in Seattle, Toronto, London, Cannes, Taipei, Delhi and Bangalore. We’re excited to bring the Yahoo Mobile Developer Conference to the East Coast, where there’s a rapidly growing hub of mobile innovation.

For more information, updates on the agenda and speakers, and to request an invitation, please check the official event Tumblr here: http://ymdcnyc.tumblr.com/

We hope you’ll join us! Stay tuned for more details…

There is something fearless and relentless about Lincoln Chafee, the former senator and governor from Rhode Island who’s running for president as a Democrat against Hillary Clinton. He may not have much chance of winning, but the possibility that he could have a real impact on the nominating process isn’t nearly so small.

Moving Search Forward

By Marissa Mayer, Yahoo CEO

Today, I’m excited to announce a renewed search alliance with Microsoft.  The agreement opens up significant opportunities in our partnership, enabling both partners to improve the search experience, create value for advertisers, and establish ongoing stability for partners.

You can learn more about it here.

We firmly believe that search is still in its infancy – and this partnership marks the next chapter in our exploration of how to make search truly great. I want to thank Satya Nadella and his team for working closely with us over the past few months to rejuvenate our partnership. Search has, and will continue to be, an incredibly important part of Yahoo, and this new partnership represents a major step forward in our renaissance.
