MobileMonday Reloading - For the Love of MoMo
It's our great pleasure to announce mobilemonday.net is now back online, just in time for the 25th anniversary of the very first event held in Helsinki on 4th of September, 2000. Several of the original MoMo alumi members, who would prefer to remain anonymous, stepped forward in order to enable this 'reload' of the old website in honor of the occasion. It is our stated intent to preserve that history and contribute in any ways feasible for the next generation to continue building futures in meaningful areas of interest for their communities. So.. Smile!
The Unique DNA of MobileMonday
The 'secret-sauce' of our explosive growth was based on very clear objectives and simple philosophy, while global HQ set the compass an open model was extremely flexible for local organizers to decide on details that would work best for their community Chapter.
From only Helsinki in spring 2004 to debut of Islamabad as 100th location by 2010, with some 500 annual events over the following years, entirely run by volunteers: it was truly a most amazing ride. Of course the emerging mobile industry touched all verticals, with profiles across the spectrum, academic and corporate - governments and startups, a Big Tent.
Merit = Open + Meaningful + Fun, and god is in the details: from topics and speakers to sponsors and venues, most importantly.. the attendees. Making everyone smile takes plenty of energy - practice and patience - to deliver value for each segment. Simply put: it's not the model - Or - the people.. it's both.
