So what exactly is a “Beta Night”? Traditionally, “Beta” is the point at which you first expose your innovations to the outside world. It may not be quite finished, and perhaps needs some polish, but it’s ready to receive constructive feedback. That’s what we’ll be doing – looking at the Beta phase of mobile development, and even checking out some beta-stage projects from local developers. We’ll also take some straw polls on what you’d like to see from MoMoBNE in 2012, and we’ll announce details of the Christmas Party and Mo-Movember.

So register now, and don’t miss another terrific mobile networking event. While you’re at it, check out the YOW!2011 Australia Software Developer Conference, to be held in Brisbane on December 5th & 6th this year. YOW are our sponsors for this month’s Mobile Monday event.

Startup Night promises a great evening of networking and discussion of mobile startups in and around Brisbane. RSVP now to secure your place – and remember it’s FREE!

So join us on Monday, May 16th from 6:00pm at our usual venue – Brisbane’s Exchange Hotel – for an evening of mobile insights, networking, and valuable talks. Use the link below to register.

Mobile Monday Brisbane is pleased to announce our first-ever demo night. Instead of speakers, our April 18th meeting will consist of 8-10 local developers showing their wares via three-minute demonstration sessions. There will be questions, answers, and at the end of the night the audience will vote for the best demo of the evening.

Come join us for what promises to again be an inspiring gathering of the local mobile community.

Note: If you’re interested in participating, be quick – we need you to e-mail us by April 4th with a description of your demo, it’s current development status, and any special equipment or network access you need to show it off.

Thanks as always to our sponsors Mogeneration, also Locatrix and My247 for their continuing support.

Leading the way will be Chris Daley, Product Development Manager for MNet Group. MNet represents the 2009 merger of Brisbane’s own Mercury Mobility and Adelaide’s mNet Corporation. Both companies were founded in 2001 and have been key drivers of the local mobile internet industry. The merger secured connectivity across the mobile ecosystem and made Mnet Australia’s leading mobile solutions company.

With exclusive insights from the Australian Mobile Phone Lifestyle Index (AMPLI) study, Chris will plot the advance of the mobile Internet, and talk about what to expect from devices and platforms in 2011, as well as emerging capabilities and new opportunities for the coming 12 months. It promises to be an evening not to be missed!

Thanks to our sponsor for the evening MNet Group – and we look forward to seeing you there.

Even better, MoMoBNE’rs can buy tickets at the early-bird rate, saving $40!  The trick is to enter the code “MOMOXmas” when you register.

Luke Steele, Samsung Australia’s Partner Manager is going to talk about bada, Samsung’s new mobile operating system. Luke’s going to talk through Samsung’s investment strategy for bada, showcase the bada application market and ecosystem, and of course show off Samsung’s first bada-equipped handset, the Samsung Wave.

Mobile Monday Brisbane is delighted to welcome Samsung as our sponsor for this month’s Mobile Monday.

We also have two terrific local speakers to round out the evening:

Rhys Cooper, from Doo Mobile, will be talking on the challenges of providing accessible solutions for people with disabilities in the mobile market. In particular, his Doo Phone interface – how and why it came about, and the amount of impact something so simple can have on someone’s life.

Finally, Hannah Suarez needs little introduction within Brisbane’s mobile and digital media circles. She is Online Marketing Coordinator for the Brisbane Festival and also runs the website Brisbane Creative Industries. The Brisbane Festival is on throughout September,  and Hannah will talk about the many digital and social media initiatives she’s been undertaking, and in particular will showcase the Brisbane Festival iPhone application.

We hope you will join us for what promises to be a terrific evening of drinks, networking, and all things mobile.
