BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders of the Mobile Industry, Senior Citizens organizations, Disability Advocates and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will kick off the Opening Session of the 2013 M-Enabling Summit, the only global conference dedicated exclusively to mobile technology, apps and services for senior citizens and users of all abilities.

The mobile industry conference and showcase will be held in cooperation with the FCC - Federal Communications Commission in Washington, D.C. June 6-7, 2013.

M-Enabling Summit2013 will cover the ins-and-outs of leveraging the latest mobile operating systems, including iOS5, Windows 8, Android and BlackBerry os10. This continual expansion of smartphones and tablets opens unprecedented opportunities by offering powerful "anywhere anytime" accessible interfaces and assistive solutions for users of all abilities. Apps developers, organizations of persons with disabilities, rehabilitation professionals, special educators, senior citizens service providers and community organizations will share their experiences in promoting the adoption of mobile solutions with mobile service providers and equipment manufacturers.
Convening in Washington, D.C., this is the only gathering of U.S. and international leaders of the global ecosystem supporting accessible and assistive mobile solutions. The M-Enabling Summit 2013 is expected to draw more than 600 participants from at least 40 countries, as well as substantial participation from leading international mobile service providers, policy makers, apps developers and manufacturers.
