Mobile Monday is a global community started in Finland almost a decade ago and has over 50 chapters worldwide.

Each chapter works with local and global mobile industry visionaries, and developers fostering cooperation and cross-company business development through virtual and live networking events sharing ideas, best practices and trends from global markets.

Mobile Monday objectives include:

• Encouraging innovation within the mobile sector.
  
• Helping local companies effectively participate in initiatives through the import and export of visions, concepts, technologies, know-how and best practices.
  
• To present innovative visions, trends, studies and forecasts from the mobile marketplace.
  
• To facilitate and create partnerships.
  
• To contribute to the education of the broader public through its publications, online presence and media partnerships
  

The Colorado Chapter will execute on these objectives, by delivering a balanced approach of business and technical content. We will look to the local community for this content, but also beyond in order to make sure Colorado knows what is happening outside our community that can help their business. We also look forward to the community stepping up and telling us what we can do to help their business- submit a business problem, that the community can help solve, or ideas on content you would benefit from at the meetings.
