Here are some of the events I will be participating in starting Jan 09.

On the 18th (Jan), I am heading to beautiful Vancouver BC to participate in the Leadership Summit at the Annual Pacific Northwest Wireless Summit that brings some of the noted executives in the mobile industry for an afternoon of pondering and contemplation. On 19th, I will participate in the day long conference on mobile. I participated in last year’s event and enjoyed it. In fact, launched our Mobile Advertising book at this event, so fond memories.

On 27th Jan, will be going south to Palo Alto to first mingle with the staff at PARC (XEROX) and then moderate a panel on “Location Based Advertising” for the Wireless Communications Alliance (WCA) SIG for LBS. We will be finalizing the program early Jan so stay tuned, should be a great discussion.

Then at CTIA in early April, will be joining my friend and colleague from across the pond – Ajit Jaokar to participate in the discussion on the BRIC markets. Conference agenda is shaping up well. More details to come.

Later in April, Ajit is also putting together “Mobile Web Mega Trends” Conference series with the first one being in Singapore. More details as they become available. Be sure to check them out.
