Although I wasn't with the finalists of the European NFC Competition, I decided to head over to Monaco anyway to attend the WIMA 2007 convention.WIMA is a convention for various wireless mobile applications, but the majority of it was targeted at the NFC Developers' Summit - for me, at least.It was a delight to learn about all the players in the European NFC scene today. I've attended many
