Mobile Monday Michigan Announces Grand Rapids Chapter
Posted on: June 19, 2011 – Filed under: Global
Mobile Monday Michigan Friday announced the mobile technology and networking group’s expansion in West Michigan with a new chapter, Mobile Monday Grand Rapids. Mobile Monday Michigan is the state’s branch of the Helsinki, Finland-based International Mobile Monday organization. MoMo Michigan is sponsored state-wide by the Mobile Technology Association of Michigan, the state’s non-profit trade association for the mobile technology industry.
“Our chapters in Detroit and Ann Arbor have quickly grown to the point where we have almost 800 members between them, and we’re getting many inquiries from people working in mobile technology in West Michigan about participation,” said Mobile Monday Michigan co-founder Linda Daichendt. “Because of the heavy level of interest, we felt the time was right to start a new chapter in Grand Rapids. The chapters will work together as part of MTAM’s state-wide mobile technology networking initiative, but over time you will find that each chapter develops its own personality based on the needs and preferences of its members. In the future we hope to develop several state-wide mobile events that members and mobile enthusiasts from all areas of the state may attend to further facilitate the growth of the industry throughout Michigan.”
The Grand Rapids chapter will be led by Doug Lang, one of the founders of Grand Rapids-based Red Pigeon. He will be joined by fellow Red Pigeon founder, Will Hartwell, Kyle Hilla of Apptopus Inc., Ben Rousch of Van Dam Iron Works, Adam Clarke of CQL Corp., Michael Sanford of CQL Corp., Greg Clausen at TakeAIM Mobile, and MTAM Board Member, Jonathan Engelsma of GVSU’s Mobile Applications and Services Lab.
