April

Then, I head off to CTIA in Vegas.

In late April (24th), I will be giving a talk in Sacramento – Mobile Advertising – The $20B Opportunity?. The event is being organized by TechCoire – Sacramento region’s only business-technology education and networking organization. More info on them here. Thanks Gopan for the invite.

I got to know two wonderful people at Stanford University last year – Prof. Tom Kosnik and his student Mohit Gundecha. It was in context of the event that Mobile Momentum organized on the Indian Wireless Market. I serve on the advisory board. In fact, Mohit is single-handedly organizing our Stanford event next week.

Prof. Tom Kosnik has invited me to give a class to his students on Mobile Advertising which is great honor. His course – Global Entrepreneurial Marketing is a very popular course at Stanford and always gets full very quickly.

May

After a brief break, we head down to San Diego on 20th for another book event being organized by CommNexus – a very active High Tech and Communications Industry association.

The same week, I will be at FiRe (Future in Review) conference being organized by SNS and Mark Anderson and will be moderating a brilliant panel on Mobile Advertising. Event and Registration details here.
