Mobile Monday Summit – 10th Anniversary

About Mobile Monday

Mobile Monday (MoMo) is an open community platform of mobile industry visionaries, developers and influential individuals fostering brand neutral cooperation and cross-border business opportunites through live networking events to demo products, share ideas and discuss trends from both local and global markets. Originating in Helsinki Finland, in 2000, events are organized by some 300 dedicated volunteers from around the world and it has become an industry leading mobile platform. Chapters have launched in over 100 cities, spanning 50 countries, worldwide and we continue to launch new locations monthly.

Mobile Monday Tokyo, launched in September 2004, has become a leading networking organization supporting the local mobile industry and is a key gathering point for corporate managers, entrepreneurs, developers, analysts and the media in Japan. MoMo Tokyo hosts regular networking events that routinely attract 100-200 participants working within the wireless industry. Founded by Mobikyo, our events are made possible by the generous and energetic contributions from many ‘Friends of MoMo’ Ambassadors.
