In response to the growing demand for Embedded Android applications, we held our first Embedded Android Forum on May 27th, 2015 at the prestigious ShanghaiTech University. The event drew a full house, as well as over 6,000 viewers following the proceedings online through the live streaming channels we set up to broadcast the event in China and Taiwan.

Presenters included top engineers from our Shanghai office who showed the audience how to overcome key technical challenges in the development of embedded Android devices, as well as esteemed professors from ShanghaiTech University and our special guest speaker David Li, founder of the XinCheJian (New Workshop) hacker space in Shanghai.
