Flurry Analytics today announced two upcoming series of events, called Flurry Source Workshop and PizzaBeerMobile. While both events will have global footprints, Flurry Source Workshops are intended to be larger-scale, insights-focused events, with PizzaBeerMobile serving as smaller, developer-centric networking meet-ups. Both events will be a forum to discuss topics relevant to all app developers, such as UX, design, growth and monetization.
