There were a lot of interesting people to talk to - and that's the main thing I was looking for. The presentations were 50% interesting - have to agree that there were too many powerpoints and too many presentations about plain uninteresting things (especially the one from Verisign). Still there were a lot of interesting things to be heard. I'm a web developer trying to get my own services on mobile browsers up and running and the event cleared many things up and also strengthened some of my assumptions that i had about many things in this field. My summary about the event can be found on my blog here: http://www.pavingways.com/mobile2event-review_59.html I hope there will be more events like this, maybe a little more tilted towards smaller companies (like mine), towards developers (because we are the ones that will build the applcations that make people use the mobile web), maybe at a cheaper location (the entrance fee was more than ok to me, double the fee hadn't hurt), also more tilted towards networking between professionals in the field.

Despite the very different tone of our follow up posts we actually agree with the take away from the conference (see Daniel’s post and my post). We both think it was a great mobile industry conference, there was litterally a flood of great information for people working in mobile and the people who were there had some great conversations and made some great connections. Where we think we didn’t do as well as we could have was in the driving toward the “2.0″ version of mobile. See Daniel’s What is “Mobile 2.0″ post for some of the principles and practices I was looking to discuss more at the event. We want to try to keep the conversation going online and see if we can refine and define a bit more, and perhaps carry the movement forward through future events. The What is “Mobile 2.0″ post is a great starting point, here are some other fantastic posts from the event: [...] [...] Daniel and I got together to sync up about Mobile 2 last week.

I just wanted to make one comment about the format: Osney Media organise a number of conferences here in the UK and they have session presentations (kept very short), followed by a 20 minute session in which each table of (typically 10) delegates discuss the issues, and then table their conclusions back to the entire forum via a nominated spokesperson. This way you get genuine debate among a small group but then it is shared with all. When I've been to these events it's worked really well. Better IMO than splitting into smaller rooms with splinter groups addressing individual topics. Paddy Mike, I’ve written my own review of the event which will go up on the blog shortly.
