Program
In the same spirit as our monthly meetings held in over 20 hotspots around the world, the MobileMonday Global Summit brings together mobile industry influencers from down the street and around the world.
The program begins with straight talk from some of the best thinkers in the business during the MobileMonday Executive Morning.
Then we kick off the afternoon with the MobileMonday Global View, where you can hear the latest from some of our chapters — direct and in person.
The day continues with three parallel seminar tracks, Trends – Profit – Fun, where a good mix of top people will speak on a range of interesting and current topics.
Throughout the day, you’ll need to find time to visit the demohalls and experience first hand the latest from some leading companies — big and small.
Finally, after a great day of learning, sharing and networking — everyone will be gearing up for a good time at the MobileMonday Global Peer Awards Party, where the world’s best mobile products and services will compete for the honor of being this year’s winner.
All this, plus a bite to eat, a few drinks, entertainment by the reknowned musical designer, Slow, as well as a session from Finland’s hottest band, Kemopetrol, and we think we have the makings of just another MobileMonday.
Smile, it’s Monday.
