Twittervison at Mobile Monday



Mobile Mondays is a global network of people interested in the growth of the mobile content and applications. It's a NFP movement and has grown across the planet as people choose to begin coordinating events of interest and 'mobilising' the local industry.

The Mobile Monday chapter in Melbourne and Tourism V1ctoria put together a mobile strategy challenge to a panel of mobile industry experts. The 5 presenters only had 5 minutes each to impress Tourism Victoria and the audience with their mobile strategy pitch.


The pitch presenters included

  • Ruwan Weerasooriya CEO CafeScreen

  • Tim Beveridge the Strategy Planner from eServices Group

  • Leigh Monti Director at Mdigital

  • Mark McCormack the CEO at Loop9

  • Dave King from the Royals




  • Organisers connected an internet enabled laptop to a projector and displayed Twitter on a screen for the audience. The audience then provided real-time feedback on the event, making comments and providing their own rating about the speakers and issues being raised. This discussion thread (ref search under #momomelb) continued the following day extending the life of the conference topic beyond the event itself.
