Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ:YHOO) announced today that the Yahoo Mobile Developer Conference is headed to the East Coast on August 26 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City. Following the inaugural, sold-out event in San Francisco this February, the conference will welcome hundreds of mobile developers and will feature speakers from across Yahoo - including Flurry from Yahoo and Tumblr - and industry partners, as well as breakout sessions and networking opportunities.

"Our first Mobile Developer Conference in San Francisco was a huge success, with about 1,000 developers in attendance," said Simon Khalaf, SVP of Product and Engineering, Publisher Products. "We’re excited to bring together this innovative and growing mobile community on the East Coast and look forward to working with even more developers to help them build products that are better for users and more profitable for their businesses."

At the New York City Mobile Developer Conference, Yahoo will unveil updates to its Yahoo Mobile Developer Suite which will help developers further enhance their apps. The day before the conference, Yahoo will host a mobile Hackathon. Developers will be invited to hack with Yahoo mobile tools and a winner will be announced at the conference the next day.

At the inaugural Mobile Developer Conference in San Francisco, Yahoo announced the Yahoo Mobile Developer Suite, which includes several tools designed to help mobile developers measure, advertise, monetize and improve their apps. Since then, Yahoo has continued to invest in developer initiatives through new products, tools, and by hosting monthly Yodel Meetups in San Francisco, and packed mobile developer meetups in Seattle, Toronto, London, Cannes, Taipei, Delhi and Bangalore.
