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:

I am currently working on a new presentation on the state of Mobile 2.0 for my coming speaker sessions the coming months, starting at Plugg in Brussels next week. If you think you should be in there, send me a note and I’ll consider to include anything interesting and relevant related to the topic.

My previous presentation on the Mobile 2.0 Start-Up Ecosystem I uploaded 5 months ago on Slideshare has been viewed nearly + 14.000 times by now.

plugg_s.jpgBelgian compatriot Robin Wauters is setting up the Plugg conference on March 19 in Brussels, an excellent opportunity for you to get up to speed on the state of the European Web 2.0 industry.

Robin asked me as a speaker to give an overview and current state of Mobile 2.0. Some interesting speakers are attending as well, such as Lisa Sounio (Dopplr), Mike Butcher (TechCrunch UK), Reshma Sohoni (SeedCamp), Tom Raftery, Julie Meyer (Ariadne Capital) and Rodrigo Sepúlveda (Vpod.tv), amongst others…

Next to the panels and speakers’ line-up, the conference hosts a European Start-Ups Rally. No less than 65 valid submissions from 18 European countries were received by the organizers and jury, resulting in a selection of 20 start-ups who will get to present their wares at Plugg. In alphabetical order, here below:

1. 123people
2. Alenty
3. Assetbar
4. Business IT Online
5. Caleido / Wuala
6. Cellity
7. Floobs
8. HumanGrid
9. Mobiya
10. MyOwnDB
11. Nugg.ad
12. Radionomy
13. Refresh Mobile - Mippin
14. Sportme
15. Trampoline Systems
16. Trutap
17. TVtrip
18. Viewdle
19. Workhound
20. Zilok

Good to see some mobile companies in there, such as Cellity, Mippin, Mobiya, Trutap, amongst a truly interesting selection. Looking forward to this one!

The selected companies will have the opportunity to pitch the jury and audience at Plugg in a morning session, 2 minutes each. A vote will then decide which 3 finalists get to present for 10 minutes each in the afternoon, after which a winner will be chosen and awarded.

If you haven’t yet registered for Plugg yourself, now’s the time! As of next Saturday, the early-bird rate expires and the entrance fee will go from 400 to 500 euro.

LIFT08
I was really looking forward to attend the 3rd LIFT Conference in Geneva but I had to cancel my trip due to overload of work and preparals for a.o. the MobileMonday Peer Awards Barcelona and Mobile Jam Session - Oui, je râle!
LIFT has a great format and has build a great reputation since it launched the conference in 2006. Check this year’s exceptional program, the impressive and tenacious list of topics handled though various workshops - check for example Open and The Future of Wireless and Ubiquitous computing: visions, failures and new interaction rituals… The LIFT THINK blog has been a must read for me for the past year.
I will also miss to catch up with Christian Lindholm, Charlie Schick , Tom Hume, Nicolas Nova and Fabrien Girardin, hope some of them will make it to Mobile World Congress.
Luckily, there’s my Belgian pal Robin Wauters - a social media fanatic - writing for various professional publications. He will attend the conference and write a wrap-up of the conference for mTrends readers. Robin is also the organizer of Plugg, a new Web / Mobile 2.0 conference planned in Brussels on March 19. Send him a tweet if you have something you’d love him to write about or he definately shouldn’t miss.
