Mobile Monday Tel Aviv is here!

I am proud to announce that the Israeli chapter of Mobile Monday is forming these days. For those of you who don't know, Mobile Monday is a global non profit organization that helps bring together mobile professionals around the world through monthly gatherings and other activities.

Israel has a lot of promising mobile startups, and mobile innovation is one of the themes around here in recent years. However, there is no organized community for people engaged with the mobile space, so I thought that since Mobile Monday does just that around the world, it can happen here too.

I got the official go from the Mobile Monday Global last week, and currently the Israeli chapter is forming, and we have plans to have the first event in April, the exact date will be announced though it will probably be the first Monday of the month, according to the Mobile Monday tradition...

Usually the events have a certain theme with some lectures by people from that field, a "launchpad" in which a few startups showcase their technologies and most importantly - networking in a nice atmosphere (bring your business cards...).

To stay in touch and receive updates, I recommend you to join the Mobile Monday Tel Aviv Facebook group and also invite other people that you think may be interested. We will soon also launch a website, but in any case for the actual event coordination, Facebook is definitely the platform of choice.

If you would like to speak about anything mobile in the upcoming events, or think your company may be interested in sponsoring an event please contact me via my facebook profile or via email (My full details are in the Blogger profile page). In addition we are building the core team these days, and though we already have several great people on the team, we can always use more, so if you want to help contact me.

It is about time we have a mobile community in Israel... Mazal Tov to us all...
