Now in its second year the Open Mobile Summit (May 26-27, London) covers all the bases to again set the bar. I attended and spoke at this exceptional event last June and was struck by to things: the sold-out crowd and the balanced mix of speakers and authorities from companies and organizations across the entire ecosystem.

In brief: Events where you can network with MSearchGroove (Peggy Anne Salz) and Mobile Groove (Inma Martinez). A chance for you to register for Mobilize, a path-breaking mobile industry event organized by GigaOM and a call for companies attending Mobile Marketing Forum Europe (MMF) in Berlin to schedule an interview with bnetTV. Only a few weeks since I teamed up with Inma Martinez - a leading digital media strategist and advisor to venture capitalists who has been referred to as a "free radical" by Red Herring and Fast Company – to co-host Mobile Groove. The overwhelming positive response to our no-holds-barred monthly podcast (which speaks out on developments impacting the mobile industry/investment community at all levels) is encouraging and we are gearing up for our September podcast, a program sure to showcase the highlights of the events and exclusive interviews/briefings/chats Inma and I experience first-hand over the next weeks. Inma has been invited to attend Mobilize in San Francisco (September 10), a conference that explores the industry vision for the future of wireless and also offers 10 cool startups a platform as part of the Launchpad. As review of these companies (which include: Pageonce, mataio, Waze, Toktumi Line2, Glympse, Ondeego, Square Connect, Locle, IQ Engines and Distimo) shows: the real innovation is in the mix-ups and mash-ups at the intersection of content and context. Inma and I will integrate her observations and first-hand encounters with entrepreneurs into the next in the Mobile Groove series, so be sure to connect with her during the show. To meet up or catch up, email her directly at imartinez AT stradbrokeadvisors DOTcom. While I won't make the trip, I have teamed up with the organizers to promote this and all GigaOM events going forward. All have assembled world class speakers and all will be prominently featured on MSearchGroove. (For example, this week's conference features keynotes by Sanjay Jha, CEO of Motorola and Cole Brodman, CTO of T-Mobile, presentations that anchor a stellar line up of telecoms and web industry speakers including Andy Rubin, co-Founder of Android and Len Lauer, COO of Qualcomm.)
