Panel
There’s never been a better time to get your “enterprise mobility house” in order than now. Not only can you cut costs significantly, mitigate security risks, and improve employee satisfaction by giving Millennials the tools they need to work collaboratively – but also enable your company to compete successfully as broadband goes mobile in 2010. Our panel will discuss best practices and opportunities around topics such as:
  • Funding new mobile infrastructure and justifying enterprise mobile applications
  • Raising wireless readiness “WiQ” across business units, departments and management levels
  • Optimizing wireless engagements, mobility policies, and service management

Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic (MoMo Mid-Atlantic, www.momo-ma.com) ­is a non-profit global community of wireless industry professionals. Our goal is to promote a vibrant mobile community from Princeton to Philadelphia to Baltimore. With over 1,000 members joining since it was founded two years ago, Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic is the fastest growing technology networking organization in the Greater Philadelphia area. Our chapter organizes events around wireless mobility featuring industry-leading keynote speakers and panelists. Past events have been attended by 200-400 people to network with other entrepreneurs, executives, students, developers, marketers and professionals and to learn more about mobile marketing and advertising, location based services, next generation wireless, mobile social networks, emerging mobile companies (demo day) and mobile in the enterprise.

The Mobile Monday phenomenon began almost by accident in Helsinki, Finland during the autumn of 2000. A couple of well-known Finnish visionaries invited the who’s who of the Finnish mobile industry to a pub for an informal get-together and a warming drink. The only time suitable for such an event was Monday evening. With agreement to continue these meetings, the movement started to spread to other areas of the world and new MoMo chapters were started in Tokyo, London, Sydney, San Francisco and New York. Today there are over 70 chapters with 70,000 active members around the world.

Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic is an open forum to its members. All individuals and organizations with good standing in the community with a common interest or use of any mobile or wireless technology may participate as members.

Lisa Allen, Brad Blumberg, Rebecca Bottorff, Charles Cleary, Ron Braunfeld, James Drobile, JP Finnell (chair),and Rick Rasansky currently serve on the board of organizers of Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic.
