Mobile TV - The Next 12 Months

:: Monday 2nd July 2007)
:: 6.30pm for 7pm kickoff!
:: The Shelbourne Hotel, 200 Sussex St
(corner of Market & Sussex streets)

With a 3G user base now passing the 3 million user mark, we decided Mobile Monday Sydney should refocus on the much kicked-about topic of Mobile TV and ask…
- How is mobile TV going to evolve over the next 12 months?
- How’s Broadcast Australia’s DVB-H trial going ?
- Why are content offerings still so limited ?
- Are FREE-to-all off-deck advertiser-backed services ever going to appear?
…and lots more.

We’ve got some very special guests in our panel :-

- Martin Farrimond, GM Mobile TV at Broadcast Australia
- Anthony Ward, Group MD Media & Entertainment at TBS Group
- Ben Kinealy, GM TV Mobile & Broadband, Telstra Bigpond
- Chris Noone, Group Mobile Director, NineMSN

Martin will also update us on the progress with DVB-H.

Promises to be a very interesting evening with plenty of opportunities for Q&A, and of course networking with your industry peers. Bring your mobiles and business cards !

Open Mic!

Presenting … You!
Got something to tell your mobile peers? Not a whinge about data pricing, but your thoughts on where the industry is going, a chance to demo your company’s mobile application, mobile content or just show off a cool, favourite mobile service that you use. This month, we’re following Mobile Monday Melbourne’s lead from last month and having an open mic night - with a twist: we’re letting the first 5 people who turn up and register with us on the night to speak have 5 mins onstage to tell the world what you really think. You’ll also have use of the MoMoSyd mobile device camera, so that everyone can see what you’re doing on your phone. Its a great opportunity to get recognition for your ideas - and start conversations which could make them a reality.

Featuring… the chance to buy your beers via Txt4it
A live demonstration by Txt4It who have launched their new service which lets you order food + drink from the bar via SMS. Who’s up for the first round ?!

As usual, there’s going to be lots of fun, smart and interesting people to meet so we encourage you to RSVP early. Bring your mobiles and business cards !
