2011 build in sensors, like GPS, temperature, humidity, light- or compass-chips, create new mobile ecosystems – the sensorconomy.

The rise of the “sensorconomy” – a new economy and ecosystem driven by the Internet of Things. Is this M2M on steroids or is it much more than that? Monty expects a wave of new company and business models to cash in one this.

From Andrew Keen\’s rant we move on to a next09 panel on mobile telephony. What will the mobile environment look like in 2020? We begin with a brief video from the open think tank MoCom2020.com, showing where we\’ve come from, and where we may be going (a \’sensorconomy\’ based on digital device sensors, new mobile services and mobile broadband offerings, major takeup in India, Africa, and other developing regions, miniaturisation and embedding of mobile devices, a shift of newspapers from print to mobile delivery, instant translation tools, location tracking, and substantial privacy and security concerns).

It is the only conference that unites the Internet community with brands and leading companies.

Share Economy is this year’s theme of next09. This term is shaped by the economy theorist Martin Weitzman. His basic idea: The more we share our success with others, the more we profit ourselves. This applies to humans as well as brands. An outline of the topic and further information can be found in a brief summary of Share Economy.

We have defined “MOCOM 2020″ as a non-profit think tank for the future of mobile media. But during the Mobile World Congress we have heard a few interesting explanations of the project. Some called it a “virtual global mobile monday”, “the information hub for mobile media” or a “crowdsourcing platform of the future of mobile communication”. I think all definitions are correct and add new and challenging aspects to our collaborative project. The interaction with the attendees at the TweetUp, visitors to the MWC and you really makes MOCOM 2020 to a very special project.

The Mobile Media TweetUp was realized by MOCOM 2020, SIMYO and Smaato.

There have been over 200 people from more than 16 countries attending the Mobile Media TweetUp.

Rolf Hansen, CEO of Simyo, talked about why consumer centricity is a key success-factor nowadays. Min Xuan Lee presented “How Twitter changed my life” (Read the full presentation here). And Monty C. M. Metzger presented the MOCOM 2020 project and how everybody can collaborate and join the movement.

Furthermore Harald Neidhardt, Co-Founder & CMO of Smaato, moderated the Smaato Mobile Advertising Award 2009.

The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona 2009 is gathering interesting people and active Twitter-Users from around the world. We want to invite twitter-fans, executives, experts, bloggers and journalists to the first
MOBILE MEDIA TWEETUP.

The event is realized by MOCOM 2020 – in teamwork of SIMYO and SMAATO.

The Mobile Media Tweetup is a place for fresh ideas, new inspiration and interesting people. But it is also an experimental gathering which idea was created just three weeks before the MWC’09 starts. Participants will enjoy short dinner speeches and networking in an international atmosphere. Ready for a sincere warm up for a long party night or as a cool down from MWC day’s hectic.

Chill with drinks and food and join us on Tuesday, February 17th, in Barcelona.
The event starts at 7 PM local time.

For the MOCOM 2020 Community we have reserved 20 tickets.
