The webcast will also feature NFC Forum’s scoop on what makes a competition entry the “Best NFC Service of the Year” or “The Most Innovative NFC Research Project of the Year.”

The entry deadline for the Global Competition is February 19, 2010.

The NFC Forum, begun in 2004, is a non-profit association of 140 companies whose mission is to advance the use of NFC technology by developing specifications, ensuring interoperability among devices and services and educating the market about NFC. [end]
