The Program
The main event theme is ‘Fin/Est Mobile Innovation’ and during the course of the Summit we intend to bring you the best and brightest of the Finnish and Estonian mobile industries including Nokia, Skype and Fortumo. Through seminars, workshops and site visits, you’ll gain deeper insight to Finnish and Estonian mobile industries, where they're going next, and what we can learn together from their global experience.
Additionally, we’ve got a great lineup of top people from Finland, Estonia and around the globe who will speak on a range of interesting and current topics. And our friends from MoMo’s newest chapters will share the fantastic work they’ve been doing and you’ll have many opportunities for one-to-ones with these very creative markets.
Day 1: 27 September, Helsinki MobileMonday’s 10 Year Anniversary Summit will kick off in Helsinki with the official MoMo welcome followed by the highly anticipated Peer Awards finale where everyone in attendance will get to hear the pitch presentations and vote for 2010’s winner.

The location for the Awards and the Party, Restaurant Kaarle XII, aka"Kalle", is truly a Helsinki institution. Buffet dinner and drinks will be served. And the MoMo House Band will be rockin’ the house. We hope to see some dancing on the tables in true ‘Kalle’ style.
