I am here in London now at the Future of Mobile. Great conference, it’s always good to have more and more people joining the mobile space and to catch up with fellow peers, bloggers and ecosystem collegues.

Here below the slides of the keynote I did this morning here at #FOM with topic on “Threats and opportunities of increasing openness in the mobile ecosystem.”

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to discuss some of the topics in detail or leave a comment.

Here below the video and slides of my “15 Tips To Create Value For Mobile” presentation I did at MobileMonday Amsterdam #7 on Value, including a short overview on the evolving mobile ecosytem. Note that each of those tips could be a topic itself for a specific detailed presentation - maybe I should start a series in the future :)

Here’s my updated overview presentation on Mobile 2.0 I did last week in Brussels at the Plugg Conference, a great initiative by Robin Wauters. The conference included a Start-Ups Rally won by Viewdle.

I saw many people taking pictures during the presentation :D I you’re one of them, and if you want to share them just ping me if you have some good ones, I’ll be happy to link them and/or share them with my readers.

NOTE: As for the startups represented here, they are only some of the ones I am following. This is not intented as a complete overview but a representation and moment in time. If you’re not included in this presentation you might be in my next one :) Just ping me if I missed you somehow.

Some bloggers reported already (in Dutch) on my presentation:

sidebar_220_x_851.jpgAfter a very successful first Mobile Jam Session during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Caroline Lewko of the Wireless Industry Partnership (WIP) and myself are ‘jazzed’ about working together again to bring you the second Mobile Jam Session at the Las Vegas Convention Center – N255 on Monday, March 31, 2008 (9:00 am - 6:00 pm).

The event is free of charge for all participants, coffee breaks, lunch and networking cocktail included. We’re looking for passionate, exciting and talented developers. If you’d like to participate, let’s us know why you’d like to attend and add your name and suggested topic to the invitation list. Candidates who sign up for Mobile Jam Session before March 15 will receive a free CTIA pass!

What’s it all about…

  • Infused with the spirit of the early days of Jazz, the Mobile Jam Session is a day to inspire new ideas and innovate solutions to existing challenges. The purpose is focused, but the agenda is improvised along the way.
  • It all starts as we open up the mobile ecosystem and connect experienced and talented developers, with industry experts and decision makers. We all know this is often difficult at big conferences, but the Mobile Jam Session makes it possible. We propose an invitation and referral only to get the right mix of participants.
  • Most importantly this event is driven by developers – what they want to hear, who they want to talk to, what they want to say. It’s no secret that the industry needs the emerging companies to lead with innovation, to leverage resources and to help change the game. With the right beat, let’s get ready to listen!

Speakers & Topics & Format

Topics are chosen ahead of time by the participants when they register. We match that to industry leaders and include developers as discussion leaders too, to get the right mix of big company expertise and hands –on experience.

The format includes a mix of developer only mixing; an interactive panel; and our unique “Improv” sessions where 5-6 discussion leaders facilitate small groups of participants.

See the agenda and pictures from the session in Barcelona. Jam on!
