We are getting closer and closer to THE event in mobile - the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Last year the exhibition and the show were not really amazing.

Nevertheless I will be flying to Barcelona along with Tadej for the following events:

Sunday (15.2.2009) - Mobile Sunday Barcelona

Organized by Rudy De Waele, Mobile Sunday is basically a party for people in mobile. The goal is to mingle and exchange ideas. It is the place to be on Sunday because this is the event where most influent people in the mobile industry and its convergent area’s will be partying. This is also a chance to chat with most of the MobileMonday global chapter founders in one spot.

My expectations: Get a chance to talk with some interesting people about interesting concepts and implementations and hopefully see if I can bring MobileMonday to Ljubljana.
How to get in: RSVP
When: 19:00
Where: Club Mix, Comerç 21

Monday (16.2.2009) - Mobile Peers Awards

The second event organized by Rudy are the MobileMondayMobile Peer Awards. This is one of the most influential events in the mobile industry. 163 startups participated and 42 nominees were selected by their respective chapters. An international Jury selected the 20 finalists to present at the Peer Awards event in Barcelona. This year the keynote will be given by Anssi Vanjoki.

My expectations: I expect to meet a bunch of amazing innovators and innovations.
How to get in: RSVP
When: 16:00 - 20:00

Tuesday (17.2.2009) - Swedish Beers

Sweedish Beers is supposedly one of the greatest events during Mobile World Congress. It usually gives you the opportunity to meet with a lots of mobile industry people - basically the ones you missed on Sunday and Monday :). It is hosted by Helen Keegan - a great blogger. According to the latest info is happening at BelChica, a unique place in Barcelona.

My expectations: I expect to have some great beers and have a chat with the friends I made on Sunday and Monday.
How to get in: Swedish Beers No RSVP
When: 19:00 -
Where: Bel Chica, Carrer de Villarroel 60
The event has been moved to Wednesday (more info here), so we will have to find another mingling place for Tuesday.

I will have to leave on Wednesday morning so I will have to skip the events going on the next few days.

I am sure it Barcelona will be great and that there are many interesting discussions ahead. Ping me on Twitter or drop me an email if you want to meet and have a chat ;)

See you!
