Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, Spain (1st day)

A very busy Mobile World Congress 2009

The first day at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was quite busy, but luckily I had a motivated team with me and the booth organisation was great, so I could relaxative focus on my business meetings. Amongst others I also had a chat with Ben Tatton-Brown and Harry Dewhirst from ringringmedia.com. It was great to see the guys, who some months ago worked for an old combatant called pitch.tv, but now started a new own business in the mobile advertisement field.

In the late afternoon I joined the Mobile Monday Peer Awards at the Palau de la Musica Catalana. Unfortunately I missed some of the presentations, but I could enjoy the networking part and the award ceremony hosted by Rudy De Waele (MobileMonday Madrid) and Carles Ferreiro (dotopen). The event was really good and jam-packed. In the crowd I met many ‚old‘ contacts like Russell Buckley (admob), Andy Smith (admob), Christian Kammler (four2b), Lutz Lengemann (freenet), Sarik Weber (cellity), Jan Beckers (Team Europe Ventures), Philip (?), Stefanie (aka-aki), Matthäus Krzykowski (mobile-facts), Daniel Hartmann (mobile-facts), Philipp Hartmann (madvertise), Oliver Gerstheimer (Chilli mind), Harald Neidhardt (smaato), Mark Wächter (MWC), Harald Müller (MSID), Daniel Melter (M-Squad) and some other folks – please forgive me, if I forgot somebody 🙂

Our MWC team (Max, me, Marcus, Sandra and Matthias), our booth, MoMo Peer Awards and MoMo Dinner (Bena, Jakob and David).

Later on I had luck, because I could join the winner’s table at the Mobile Monday Peer Award Dinner and have dinner with Jakob Berg (PopCatcher AB) and Per Ek (PopCatcher AB). It was a funny evening at our table and I also had very interesting talks not only about mobile with the other people in the round; Bena Roberts (visibility mobile), Christine Perey (Perey Research), Ezequiel Ardigó (a2dm) and David J. Blumberg (Blumberg Capital).
