MobileMonday Brisbane

Mobile Monday Brisbane returns on February 28th with an exciting array of speakers and a fantastic new local sponsor! Join your mobile industry peers to listen to and discuss diverse topics such as data capture, content publishing, and also an exclusive wrap-up of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

This month we welcome Gripon Mobile Solutions, a Brisbane based company that has evolved over 15 years from a barcoding and POS hardware vendor to also being an expert in Mobile Data Capture hardware and solutions for a diverse range of applications. Gripon Mobile Solutions is the Australian and New Zealand Master Distributor for the Australian Designed & Manufactured Grabba products for Mobile Data Capture applications which will be presented at the Mobile Monday event.

Our speaker Gary Rushton is the Business Development Manager for Gripon Mobile Solutions based in Brisbane and has over 25 years experience in the Electronic Security & IT industry. He has spent the last 8 years in the AIDC and Mobile Computing/Data Capture industry and will offer some insights into the practical use of various data capture technologies available for the emerging and dominant mobile computing platforms in the market today.

We will have additional mini-talks as well. Dan Swan from MoGeneration will talk about their latest initiatives in mobile publishing, while Mark White from Locatrix and Mark Ross-Smith from SMS Fun will share stories from the world’s largest mobile industry event, the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona. It promises to be an interesting evening!

So join us on Monday 28th February from 6pm at the Exchange Hotel to network with Brisbane’s mobile movers and shakers. Registration is free but essential, as limited places are available.

Please join us for the final Mobile Monday Brisbane in 2010 on November 29th as we get out the crystal ball and look forward into what’s in store for 2011.

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.

Once again the Exchange Hotel hosted a good crowd of around 40 mobile enthusiasts, as Mobile Monday Brisbane returned for a lively October meeting.

Tom Adams from mogeneration began proceedings with a presentation about Oomph, their mobile magazine publishing system. Then QPay’s Greg Walter showcased their mobile payments system – being deployed with some success by the likes of Visa and Westpac. Finally, Wearehunted’s David Novokavic presented their MySpace music application on the iPad. As usual, the evening ended with Brisbane’s best mobile networking over a few drinks.
