Mobile Monday Summit: The Elite of the Global Community hooked on Yasmo Live

Summit Chronicles No Comments »

MobileMonday celebrated its 10 year anniversary in Helsinki and attracted representatives from MobileMonday Chapters all around the world. So many different cultural backgrounds meant Yasmo Live came in handy to break the ice, and we’re happy to say we got the elite of the global mobile community hooked on our service. In fact delegates enjoyed Yasmo’s community-building aspects so much that 1/3 of the attendees were already interacting through the app. before the conference had even started!

There’s something incredibly invigorating about the air in Espoo, Finland. Friends were made, great ideas were discussed and borders and languages were transcended. Merrily!

We want to thank Jari Tammisto, CEO & President of MobileMonday and Minna Sarela, Coordinator, for inviting us to such a meticulously organised event and for allowing us to present our service to their Chapter representatives – watch this space for more MobileMonday events soon, we hope!

Mobile 2.0: Thriving Debut in the Global Mecca of Technology

Summit Chronicles No Comments »

The presentation we made at Mobile 2.0 in Barcelona in June must have been impressive, because the next thing we knew we were invited to launch the multi-platform version of our app at that most hallowed mecca of technology: Mobile 2.0 in Silicon Valley (Sep 20-21)!

There was a truly magical moment when we fired up the live feed of the app on the conference’s main screen during our presentation and saw that most of the attendees had logged on. So many months of developing, testing, re-testing and re-developing had finally paid off. Whatever their phone, attendees can now use our app – welcome to the future of conference networking, where you will never miss a networking opportunity ever again!

And not only was our debut a great success, but we got to rub shoulders with some of the great and the good of the mobile world: Nokia’s business strategists, Telstra’s Emerging Technology Specialists, MashUp’s founder, Rovio’s – creator of Angry Bird’s – marketing director and Velti’s representatives.

A very special thanks therefore to Gregory Gorman, one of Mobile 2.0′s founders for spotting us in Barcelona and giving us the chance to make a big splash of our launch in Silicon Valley.  Thanks also to the other members of Mobile 2.0′s Organising Committee: Dan Appelquist, Senior Technology Strategist at Vodafone; Mike Rowehl, Angel Investor and founder of MoMo SV and Peter Vesterbacka, co-founder of Mobile Monday and Mighty Eagle at Rovio.

London, September 17, 2010 – Yasmo Live announced today that Mobile 2.0, the insider’s event in the global mobile community, will deploy Yasmo Live’s real-time, on-site networking app on the Business Day of its conference in Silicon Valley on 20-21 September.

Yasmo Live, the first app of its kind, will allow users to search through the picture-based profiles of fellow attendees directly on their phones, to identify contacts of interest instantly and to arrange on-the-spot meetings, hence maximising their networking opportunities at Mobile 2.0.

We look forward to using the powerful event analytics it provides through delegates’ use of its on-site networking features.”
