The next Mobile Monday Madrid on April 21, 2008 will dive into the wonders of Mobile Messaging 2.0. This time invited speakers are Jan-Joost Kraal, VP of Mobile of eBuddy (12 million unique users! see recent TechCrunch coverage), Tim von Toerne, founder and VP Product of Hamburg-based Cellity and Enrico Noseda, Skype’s Director of Business Development Telecoms.

“The mobile messaging market, like many others, is in a perpetual state of change, with phenomenal growth that has taken directions few could have predicted. What started a few years ago as the emergence of groundbreaking market shifts is now coalescing into a new vision for using and enabling mobile messaging technology –– Mobile Messaging 2.0. (…) It also incorporates an emerging set of principles that will guide operators in the development of next generation mobile messaging networks. At its heart, it is a fundamental shift away from ‘network defined messaging’ to ‘user defined messaging’ that has the potential to benefit everyone.” (from the Mobile Messaging 2.0 White Paper from Airwide Solutions)

Not sure who ever organised 3 MobileMondays in 3 weeks - no I won’t advice it, unless it is to come and watch of course but it’s the way we had to get our act together to start the events in Madrid and get the rhythm right. All in all, I think we were able of keeping the right quality level we’re aiming at for every event…

After the succesful opening event of MobileMonday Madrid and the Mobile Web Applications topic covered in Barcelona, the next MobileMonday Madrid event on November 12 covers experiences from the UK Mobile Market. The UK has one of the most active emerging markets in next generation mobile data services, together with France, Germany, Italy and Spain. We want to learn about the experiences from some of the best positioned people in the UK Mobile industry and explore new market opportunities.

For this event we brought together Mike Short, VP Research and Development at O2 - Telefonica, Ray Anderson, CEO of Bango and Christopher Moisan of Taptu to share with us about their experiences and new business opportunities. The panel will be moderated by Ricardo Pérez from IE Business School.

All details and speakers’ bios at MobileMonday Madrid website. If you’re in the neighborhood, don’t wait to book your seat, the opening event was fully booked after 2 days only.
