The concept of Mobile Monday started in Helsinki six years ago with an idea to bring the members of the mobile industry, including academics and business, together in an open forum to discuss ideas and to network. Presently there are 50 Mobile Monday chapters around the world including; Amsterdam, Tokyo, Silicon Valley and New York City; just to name a few. The Montreal chapter was started by high tech Montrealers Beverly Wilks and Daniel Martin– so that members of the Montreal telecomm and mobile communities can network and stay connected. Our format follows the trend of the “un-conference”, the Mobile Monday Montreal organizers role is to bring in interesting and topical speakers as well as provide a venue for networking. Attendees include everyone from programmers to systems engineers, and from marketing executives to venture capitalists. Attendance ranges form 60 to over 150 and continues to grow; our mailing list reaches hundreds of people in the Montreal mobile community. Please note that there is no fee for people to attend the events.
Our pitch:
MobileMonday is an open global community that promotes and fosters cooperation & networking among mobile professionals & their companies by providing opportunities for personal and virtual contacts
