.mobi AdBID Official Exhibiting Sponsor at the Mobile Marketing Forum in New York City

[mykel241]

Dates: June 6, and June 7.
Location: Marriott Marquis, New York City

The sponsorshop ate up a large portion of our budget but we believe it will be worth it in the end. We are exhibiting with our full suite of services: AdBID, parkedPAGE, and AdZONE. You can see more about them at our site Adternate.com.

The MMA is running alot of interesting workshops over the 2 days and if any of you are in the New York area you may want to think of registering to attend. You can see them all here: http://www.mobilemarketingforum.com/?q=node/9

More info can be found here: http://www.mobilemarketingforum.com/

There are alot of Top Tier sponsors. One of them happens to be the .Mobi Advisory Group: http://www.advisorygroup.mobi/index.html
Anyone have a message they want delivered? lol

It should be a real interesting two days. In the meantime we are getting ready to ramp up our traffic to AdBID. Our goal is to have 500,000 banners served prior to the show as well as 200 parked sites at parkedPAGE.mobi.

Hi,

It was a great time. I was the only present representing .mobi and fielded more questions about .mobi then adbid...lol.

I met with Neil Edwards, and Vance from mTLD as well as Michael O'Farrell from the .mobi Advisory Group (which we are now joining as an Associate Member). They have a solid plan and .mobi is only to get more recognition in the coming months as more and more people even start to realize there is a mobile internet.

After Neil spoke I had alot of people coming to my booth asking about the tld. They said that they have a .com but now want to get a .mobi to represent their mobile initiative.

I also met with executives from:
AdMOB, Quattro, SONY|BMG, CellFire, Discovery Networks, MediaPost, iCrossing, Carlson, Yahoo, Reuters, Sprint, and many more. I have some interesting proposals to ponder so I will let you all know what happens.

Here is something to think about:
The other day I went to my local wireless store and purchased the T-Mobile Dash. I asked him if I could test a site on his Dash before I made the purchase. He asked me what site and I said bSEEN.mobi... He then asked my do I have to put .com at the end of that..So if you think of it as more people become aware of .mobi more people will want one and it will drive the after market and recognition.

See .mobi is a tld that has a purpose and as time passes and more people here about it when people think of the mobile web they will think .mobi before .com.

ps. There is another great 1 day event in New York City called OMMA Mobile. It is on June 29 and is being managed by Jon Whitfield of MediaPost. Here is a link: http://www.mediapost.com/ommamobile/index.cfm?ip=Overview

If anyone is planning on attending let me know as we are going to be attending and possibly sponsoring/exhibiting.

Lookn forward to hearing more from you on the conference etc. Michael. Also glad to hear you feel the expenses of the booth etc., were worth it overall for you and your company. They can sometimes be such a crap shoot expense. But it sounds like it was a good event. GL.

Michael, you are a great ambassador. Your efforts are benefitting all of us...I feel like I should be tipping you.
Thanks and keep the .MOBI message spreading.

Most people that I know only know what .MOBI is because of me...and laugh at me for all of my purchases.
