So there were tons of people there tonight who didn't have cards or who don't have websites that I can link to, ergo I wasn't able to document'em here. Quick 'hi' to movie producer Ben Pullen, a friend of Helen's — and management & strategy consultant, Jay Singh. I had a super time tonight at [...]
About
Matt Bembridge of Leiki
Matt is MD of Leiki UK. Sitting staring at the card, I'm not quite sure what Leiki do as I didn't quite have time to ask him since he was in conversation with another chap called Steve. Had a quick look. <blockquote>Leiki provides software tech that automatically personalises content & community services.</blockquote>. Interesting stuff.
Matt Wakeman of Vodafone
When Matt introduced himself, I turned to Carlo, grabbed his shoulder and began hyperventilating. I'm. In. A. ROOM. WIth. Someone. From. VODAFONE. Carlo then explained that I come out in an embarrassing rash and experience projectile vomiting whenever I find myself in close proximity to mobile phone operators. It's ok. It's a syndrome. I've had [...]
Paul Bradley of Gemalto
My first question to Paul of Gemalto, the sim card people, was to ask when I can get my hands on a 512 or 1024mb MegaSIM. He's gonna get back to me on that. I don't think they're generally available yet — at least in the UK. My second question to Paul was to ask [...]
Tom Hume & Thom Hopper of Future Platforms
I briefly said hi to Tom Hume and colleague Thom of Future Platforms. Amongst other things, Tom's company did a lot to launch the rather innovative Flirtomatic mobile and web dating site. Do check out the Future Platforms site as well as Tom's own blog.
The man himself, Carlo Longino of Mobhappy
I was excited to finally connect with Mr Mobile, Carlo, Editor of influential mobile blog Mobhappy. What a cool guy! I had a little chat to him about the media genius hotel he visited here in London – I wrote about it the other month, a wicked new one in Hoxton. I forget it's name [...]
Amir Ahmad of Txtfo
Txt-fo (text'fo) verb – to request and receive information anywhere. I caught up with Amir who animately described a what his company is up to. Publicly, their service is a super way of connecting your handset and email in terms of receiving and requesting info. For example, querying the price of a CD, then buying [...]
Andy Natt of Mindmatics
Then I knocked into Andy, Operations Director at Mindmatics ('full service mobile') who I've never met – but I've done quite a lot of project pitches and the like with his company over the years. He was, rightly so, full of energy. Mindmatics do some absolutely cool stuff for a lot of diverse high profile [...]
Graham Holliday of Noodlepie
I didn't get much of a chance to connect with Graham of Noodlepie to ask him more about what he does. Blogger & Journalist it says here on his business card. He's just arrived in from France.
Paul from Morpheme Game Studios
One of the first chaps I connected with tonight was Paul O'Sullivan or Morpheme who do a heck of a lot of stuff with interactive games – including quite a bit of mobile ones. I've asked him if he'll do an interview so I can find out more about what they do.
Bango sponsored it all
Got into the bar just past 7pm and wondered why so many Bango employees were at the event – until someone explained that the badges qualified you for a free drink. I found out after I'd put my card behind the bar and got tanked up on some coca cola. I think I got there [...]
Our hosts Steve Flaherty and Helen Keegan
I caught Helen almost as soon as I arrived. She was in excellent spirits and immediately introduced me to Sam of Chinwag – it's been years since we last connected. Helen was supervising by the bar area whilst Steve was holding court in the back area past the huge Bango sign. He's got a lot [...]
