Smile, it's Monday!
Mobile Monday
Mobile Monday sai alguse Helsingis aastal 2000, kui mobiilitööstusega seotud inimesed ja huvilised hakkasid lihtsalt kord kuus kohtuma, puhudes meeldivalt juttu näiteks õlleklaasi tagasi. Edasi hakkasid toimuma juba seminari ja ümarlaudade vormis üritused ning Mobile Monday levis ka väljapoole Soome piire. Järgnesid Mobile Monday harud Tokyos, Silicon Valleys, Romas, Milanos jne. Tänaseks on Mobile Monday levinud ca. 60 linna üle maailma.
Mobile Monday on oma olemuselt globaalne mobiilitööstusega seotud inimeste ühendus, mis soodustab liikmete koostööd ja omavahelist suhtlemist. Mobile Monday igakuistel üritustel jagatakse ideid, parimaid töövõtteid ning arutatakse globaalse mobiilturu ja -ühiskonna hetkeolukorda ning suundumusi. Üritused on suunatud nii suurtele, väikestele, lokaalsetele kui ka globaalsetele firmadele, kaasates ka vastavaid meediaväljaandeid, vabakutselisi professionaale ning visionääre.
Mobile Monday began almost by accident in Helsinki, Finland, during the autumn of 2000. A few well-known Finnish visionaries invited the who’s who of the Finnish mobile industry to a pub for an informal get-together, and perhaps a warming drink. The only suitable time? Monday evening. Towards the end of 2004, the movement started to spread to other areas of the world, and new MoMo chapters were started in Tokyo, Silicon Valley, Rome and Milan.
Mobile Mondays facilitate networking between small and large companies, and also between local and foreign talent. During the monthly events, attendees present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the mobile marketplace. Mobile Mondays also provide an opportunity to contribute to the education of the broader public through its publications, online presence and media partnerships.
