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 !
