About Mobile 2.0

MOBILE 2.0 Silicon Valley brings together experts and thought leaders from all aspects of the mobile ecosystem, including startups, investors, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, and mobile application developers and web technologists.

The MOBILE 2.0 Conference is a two-day event on October 15th and 16th, 2009 focusing on new Mobile Applications and Services, Mobile Ecosystems, and Disruptive Mobile Innovation presented by the Mobile 2.0 Organizing Committee.

We, The Organizing Committee, are all mobile practioners with years of experience in the wonderful but frustrating Mobile space.  We pride ourselves on putting together an annual Event that is informal, interactive and informative.

Mobile 2.0 Silicon Valley is all about giving our audience the opportunity to learn, network and voice their views. Our Event does not talk at you — you are the Mobile Community and we strive to create an atmosphere that challenges your business assumptions and provides you with hands on understanding of mobile platforms.  Join us!
