If you want to know what’s sparkling these days in the mobile & wireless market, you have to be at Cicada’s for our 2nd CTIA gathering this time during CTIA Wireless 2006 in Los Angeles.

Caroline Lewko from the Wireless Industry Partnership will be your host that evening. Our Canadian mobilist is quite stoked about the venue - a really cool Art Deco restaurant, I love it! It’s about 12 blocks from the Convention Center and close to many of the CTIA hotels (according to the Manager - New Yorkers would walk it, LAers will take a cab!)

“From the 30-foot ceiling to the plush custom-designed bar and lounge, Cicada has combined 1920s Art Deco with contemporary design elements to create an extraordinary atmosphere.”

If you always wanted to mingle with the mobilist ones like Carlo Longino and Russell Buckley from MobHappy, Oliver Starr from MobileCrunch, Justin Oberman from MoPocket, and other fellows and fellines in a mix with mobile value chain players, fresh mobile startups, venture capitalists, journalists, etc., here’s your chance!

Send an email explaining a bit about yourself and your company to Caroline Lewko - caroline(at)wipconnector(dot)com - with “CTIA-Mobilist Reception” in the subject line.

Judy Breck did a wonderful job hosting this weeks’ edition of the Carnival of the Mobilists at Smart Mobs.

It’s great to see the Carnival of the Mobilists 38 at the weblog mother of mobile communication, pervasive computing, wireless networks and collective action.

I am pleased to receive the very first $500 “Host of the Month” award, sponsored by Khosla Ventures for my hosting of the Carnival of the Mobilist 33 here at m-trends.org in June. I am also pleased to see that the $250 “Post of the Month” award went to Stephanie Rieger with her post on “Casual mobile snacks for everyone”, my selected post of the week from the same nr. 33 edition.

If you would like to participate with a post or as a host to the Carnival, read the instructions here at the mobili.st website. I would like to thank Khosla Ventures for believing in the value of this network, especially Russell and Carlo at Mobhappy for making this all happen, and all the mobilists for their continuous support, belief and enthusiasm towards this project, a proof that collaborative writing projects work!
