OpenMarket are planning a huge party at MWC this year

We’re moving inexorably towards February and MWC. If you’re heading to Barcelona, one of the important things you’ll need to give some thought to is what to do in the evenings. Although you may initially feel like going back to your hotel and collapsing, that’s not an option during MWC-week. There’s so much to do [...]

Are you ready for some pre-MWC drinks with me and Hotwire PR?

Pre-MWC drinks with me and the Hotwire PR team this January

I hope you’re having a good relaxing week. The chances are if you’re in the United Kingdom, this is the case. This week is very much an irrelevance: For those unlucky enough to be back at work, there’s usually not much going on because the lucky ones are busy sunning themselves in the Alps. Or [...]

Need to get the music industry’s attention? Get to Midem

Midem is coming in January. It’s the music industry’s premier connected event and it takes place in Cannes, France, every year. If you’re working on something mobile-music related (or “connected” music), then I strongly, strongly recommend you consider attending the event. You’ll meet almost 7,000 other folk. Don’t just buy a ticket though. Get in [...]

It’s billed as day for developers and entrepreneurs to get together to celebrate how much the individual can active in today’s tech industry.

5,000 event WiFi users consumed 1TB of data in 4 days

I wanted to document this separately just so I’ve got a record of it. If you think that event WiFi is one of those ‘meh, maybe’ things that nobody bothers using, think again. Have a read of this: According to Max Wi-Fi, 989GB of data was transferred over the four days across nearly 5,000 devices. [...]

Industry working group formed to explore improving in-venue WiFi

A quick note for any WiFi equipment and service vendors and mobile operators concerned with the on-going development of in-venue WiFi. It’s a continual bugbear for everyone concerned. The users at big events want to be connected. Venues want to sell connectivity. Events organisers want to participate. Vendors want their kit to be used. Operators [...]

Quick note on WHITE SPACE at NYCC: Totally massively over subscribed

You know the event I’m going to on Thursday, WHITE SPACE? I just wanted to point out that I managed to talk to one of the organisers and they’re way, way, WAY over-subscribed now. This is unfortunate as there’s a lot of people who have contacted me to ask if they can come along. The [...]

I’m in the States for almost two weeks now. The first event I’m attending is the Mobile Commerce Forum here in Houston. Then I hop on a plane to visit WHITE SPACE, the invite-only summit focusing on all aspects of popular culture (of which mobile is playing an increasingly important part) and then I’m on [...]

MEF Americas 2011 returns to Miami — early bird booking!

One of the most valuable events I attended last year was the MEF Americas event. The content was simply outstanding — especially for someone like me with a European outlook. The focus was obviously on ‘Americas’ but not just the usual suspects (i.e. West Coast America). I met and interviewed dozens of executives from some [...]
