We’re happy to announce the final program of this years’ Mobile Premier Awards.
Besides the classic MPA in Innovation live 3-minute pitches, this year we have the winners of the other awards in collaboration with our Network Partners.
For this year’s event, we have a special keynote: a presentation on the story of arguably the most successful startup in mobile history, Admob.
Russell Buckley, Vice President Global Alliances at AdMob will be sharing thoughts on how to start and grow a successful company in mobile, based on over 10 years experience in the industry, AdMob’s phenomenal success, as well as ZagMe, which wasn’t so lucky.
Richard Wong, Partner Accel Partners, investors in AdMob, will talk about his experience as a VC with some of the key mobile startups in a presentation called “The Inexorable Rise of Open Mobile”.
But there’s more:
Our event host will be Mark Palmer, Founder of Maverick Planet Ltd.
Check the jury that will choose the winners among the 20 finalists.
We added Mike Butcher, Editor of TechCrunch Europe and Matthäus Krzykowski, Editor of VentureBeat to moderate the pitches in the MPA in Innovation.
What are you waiting for? Book your seat now!
