MobileMonday is a community of mobile professionals. The open community promotes the mobile industry and fosters cooperation and networking among industry people and their companies by providing opportunities for personal and virtual contacts. MobileMonday’s main activities are the community’s face-to-face gatherings on every third Monday of the month (Chicago version) and virtual networking through the use of the Blog and mailing-group. MobileMonday has the following global objectives: * To encourage innovation within the mobile sector. * To facilitate networking between small and large companies, and between local and foreign organizations. * To help local companies effectively participate in international initiatives through the import and export of visions, concepts, technologies, know-how and best practices. * To present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the mobile marketplace. * To facilitate and create partnerships. * To contribute to the education of the broader public through its publications, online presence, and media partnerships. MobileMonday is organized by a group of some 200+ dedicated volunteers from around the world. Originating in Helsinki, Finland, in the year 2000, MobileMonday has grown into the world’s leading mobile community.
