I’ll be in Helsinki for work on the week of the 5th of Nov - 9th Nov.
There is also a Mobile Monday event happening the Monday night. Anyone interested in meeting a having a beer..?
It’ll be my 30th birthday that night, so I might be either drowning my sorrows, or celebrating for another 30 years. If you’re interested in helping either way, let me know.
A little blurb from the site:
Mobile marketing and advertisingHelsinki MobileMonday will focus on mobile marketing and advertising on November 5th. The rich program begins at 17:45…
André Chaker, the head of casual games at Veikkaus, will lead the show with his personal experience from mobile advertising. He was CEO of Mobicus, a company that was later sold to Enpocket, now a Nokia company.
Thomas Michelsson, a researcher at Helsinki School of Economics, will further help to layout the mobile marketing scene. Presently he is writing a book about mobile marketing with Mika Raulas.
Jussi Holopainen of Nokia Research Centre will talk about adverting with Interactive Pervasive Games. He has authored or co-authored several papers on games research and is a co-author of the book “Patterns in Game Design” published by Charles River Media.
Timo Everi, will address the topic from an adverting agency’s angle. He is the CEO of Hasan & Partners. Previously Everi worked for Watanyia Telecom as the head of sales and marketing.
The evening is topped with the latest news from Blyk, the UK-based virtual mobile operator that is basing its operation on targeted advertising. Timo Ahopelto, who is responsible for the strategy and business development, will present the Blyk news.
Doors open at 17:30. Food and beverages served.
It sounds an interesting enough event, so I’ll head along and see what bites.
Martin, are you around?
