For the ones that don’t know yet what the Mobile 2.0 Conference represents for the industry, here are some quotes from industry experts on the last event in San Francisco:
Wow, this room really holds probably more of the true influencers of the actual future of mobile than any other event I have ever attended. Impressive!” – Tomi T. Ahonen / Communities Dominate Brands
“Knowledge is not power. Knowledge wielded effectively is power. As I look around the room as we reach the waning moments of the 2007 Mobile 2.0 Conference, I can’t help but wonder if the people in this room realize the incredible, explosive potential that each of them now has should they apply in any measure the intelligence they’ve gained in the ten hours spent here today.” – Oliver Starr / Blognation
“A differentiating aspect of this event is that it is basically self-organized and produced by folks who care about the content.? It isn’t put on by a conferencing company, a publisher, or as a customer event by some big wireless conglomerate.? It has been pulled together by a handful
of folks who care deeply about where mobility is headed.? Thanks guys for making this happen!” - Russ McGuire, Director Corporate Strategy Sprint
“The event was a great success. Thanks for all the work you all put in. The energy in the room was calm, thoughtful and forward-thinking. It was a strategic group, the conversations were electric. I feel this reflects the changes in the climate of the mobile industry as a whole – the U.S., forever waiting in the wings has a surefire “hit” with the iPhone and it is extending into the industry faster than any trends we have seen before. While we’re sick of discussing it – the effects continue to ripple through handset manufacturers and the UI community. A new bar has been created and I believe we (the mobile folks) are ready for the challenge.” - Kelly Goto / gotomedia
“This is a world class event and a real bargain. I don’t think there’s any other conference were you will find so many of the movers and shakers of the mobile world gathered in such a relatively intimate setting. It was fast paced and went very smoothly, hat tip to the organizers Gregory Gorman, Daniel Appelquist, Mike Rowehl, Rudy de Waele and Peter Vesterbacka who did a great job of lining up speakers and panelists and keeping things rolling on topic and on schedule.” - Dennis Bournique / Wap Review
“There’s one last disruption I’d like to mention and it might be the most sublime disruption of them all. The power that will be realized by the 250 plus individuals that took that time and invested the money to spend a day deep in discussion about the next generation of mobile. The cumulative increase in knowledge realized by the attendees at this event will spread out into the world in waves. Perhaps some will be small ripples, a few rolling whitecaps, but combined, we are looking at a tidal wave of new knowledge, shared ideas, and new alliances that have the power to change the world we live in profound ways.” - Oliver Star / Blognation
