Rescheduled - February 10th event - The changing landscape of the mobile web

NOTE - The event on the 2nd Feb has been cancelled. We are expecting this to be rescheduled for Tuesday February 10th. We will post to the mailing list and this blog as soon as that is confirmed.

MoMoLondon is back for 2009 on Feb 10th with 'The changing landscape of the mobile web'. Much has happened in the last 12 months in this space. New handsets, Operating Systems, browsing environments and industry initiatives are arriving. So it is time to review the mobile web again, take a fresh look at things like widegets, webOS, and the tools available to see how this is going to affect us all.

Huge thanks must go out to our February sponsors:

The speakers and panel will be made up of the following ...

• Samuel Sweet - Ikivo


• Nick Allot - OMTP BONDI


• Kevin Smith - Vodafone


• Christian Sejersen - Mozilla


• Henny Swan - Opera


• Francois Daoust - W3C


• Graham Thomas - T-Mobile

We are holding the event at the CBI Conference Centre (base of the Centrepoint tower by Tottenham Court Road tube statuion). As always the doors will open at 6pm and the event will kick off at 6.30pm.

Mobile Monday London & Swedish Beers birthday round-up

Yes, I know it's been a while coming but it's been kinda busy at technokitten towers lately so I haven't manage to catch up on everything yet but I thought it was about time to tell you about our Mobile Monday and Swedish Beers birthday party.

If you weren't there, you missed a treat. Tim Green, editor of Mobile Entertainment Magazine did a wonderful job in the role of Parky to host our chat show stylee event with guests Dr Mike Short (VP R&D O2 Telefonica), Russell Buckley (MD Europe Admob and Chairman of the Mobile Marketing Association), Madhuban Kumar (Founder, Ereni Partners) and the infamous Bill Thompson from the BBC's digital planet amongst other things. And the mid-way entertainment was provided by the wonderful guys at MIReview. More on that later.

As I was busy organising everything I was in and out of the room so didn't hear the whole thing but since the rooms was packed there were plenty people who did and some of them even wrote about it including Tom Hume, Russell and James Cameron.

And the MIReview guys were fab. They recorded their weekly show live (the first time they've done this) and also did some vox pops at Swedish Beers afterwards. Below are the links to the official segments and the last clip is from Ribot, who recorded the live recording in all its glory so you can see the before and after, effectively.

The Swedish Beers party afterwards at Bar 101 was a blast as usual and special thanks has to go to Future of Mobile and MX Telecom for their generosity and support in sponsoring the evening. There were already lots of people waiting for us by the time we got there, which was great. And there were folks there from all areas of the industry and far too many to name check them all - but included Future Platforms, O2, Vodafone, dotmobi, IIR, Carsonified, NinetyTen, Rummble, INQ, Admob, Ereni Partners, IQinc, MX Telecom, Spinvox, Ring Ring, Media, Trutap, Ribot, Fred's Talent, Hai Media, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Six Degrees, Yahoo!, Google, Kizoom, AdIq, NitroMobile, Symbian, Truphone, Nokia, Synchro Arts, Flirtomatic, Mippin, Ericsson, MMA, Splendid Communications, Vertu, MobGeo, Sony Ericsson, Yiibu, and more besides. It was good to see some familiar faces too and have a catch up over a beer and also good to meet some new faces too.

And a *special* thanks to everyone involved in getting this particular show on the road, especially Sevgi, Stephanie, Lisa and Bryan for their support and help on the night.

Update: in case you're interested, quite a few folks blogged about the evening too so feel free to browse the following blog posts.
