Announcing MLOVE ConFestival – April 14-16, 2010

London, December 7, 2009 / mlovesociety.org – MLOVE announced today a new event exploring inspiration and how mobile will change our future.

The first MLOVE ConFestival in April of 2010 will combine a new way of sharing inspiring stories, innovation, leadership and entrepreneurial success from around the globe. The invite-only event will take place at an undisclosed location that is a 100-room castle and once served as a gathering place of a secret society.

Requests for invites can be emailed to 2010@mlovesociety.org

MLOVE will be a ConFestival of ideas, surprises and value for those that are going beyond the ordinary, challenge the status quo and for those that want to learn and share with fellow passionistas. MLOVE’s goal is to enable people to be inspired and inspire others one story at a time.

"Never before has there been such an intoxicating mix of personal experiences and personal interaction, all centered around the most personal communication device of all time" said MLOVE advisor Jonathan MacDonald, Managing Director of JMA, the global agency that enables companies to execute projects in mobile and other new media.

"We are bringing together CXO's, innovators and entrepreneurs from across multiple disciplines to share, learn and cross-pollinate ideas with an array of scientists, artists and other thought leaders,” said Peter Giblin, Director of the MLOVE ConFestival. The event exposes the mobile industry to the best minds outside of mobile to maximize the opportunity of creating life-changing services and applications that can impact us all for the better.

MLOVE seeks mobile passionistas for Future of Mobile

Mobile World Congress, Valentine’s Day, Barcelona – Spain: Today “MLOVE” is launching a world wide search for passionate people for the future of mobile. As the world looks to Barcelona, Spain during the next week for news and trends during Mobile World Congress (#MWC09) a small group of mobile enthusiasts is starting to talk about MLOVE and how to make the mobile world a better place.

MLOVE started grass roots from a small group of “mobile passionistas” and is planning a summer camp event to meet and elaborate on the future of mobile.

“We call out to passionate people worldwide - that are pushing the envelope of the mobile economy - to meet at MLOVE and share ideas, visions and make new friends,” says Harald Neidhardt, initiator of MLOVE and CMO at Smaato Inc. “We want to see how mobile advertising, mobile social communities and the society find solutions to be more engaging in the mobile media of the future.”

MLOVE originated from a first brain storm weekend in the German Alps January 2009 where a group of passionate people started the MLOVE idea. The group came from mobile operators, advertising agencies, service providers, game developers and mobile entrepreneurs from the USA, UK, France, Germany and Japan. Now the call goes out to passionate people globally to participate in the conversation.

“We are at the cusp of positive change and every single one of us can do their part. Mobile is the new medium of choice to foster global understanding and MLOVE is a catalyst for this change to happen,” comments Jonathan MacDonald, a London based mobile futurist.

“MLOVE was the most inspiring weekend ever”, adds Michael Schade, CEO of mobile game developer Fishlabs.

"Japan provides a glimpse of how mobile will be used in the future, and how this shapes society. By being a part of MLOVE, we are aiming to help drive mobile innovation globally", says Christopher Billich, SVP Research & Strategy at Tokyo-based Infinita, Inc.
