Continuing the theme of Connected EveryWhere

On Monday 5th June Sun hosted the monthly meeting of the London Chapter of the Mobile Monday industry group. This is an open group comprising membership drawn from all aspects of the mobile industry, and the London Chapter is one of a number in major cities around the globe. Mobile Monday as the date suggests meets Every firsts Monday of the month around the world from London, LA, New York, France to Tokyo ... etc for reports from events around the world just go to Mobile Mondays.

By hosting the event we sought to raise Sun's profile as an active participant in the group and across its members, of which there are now close to 1,000. We set a target of 120 attendees, which was achieved resulting in few, if any spare seats, in the Da Vinci conference room in the CBC in our London City office

The subject of this meeting was Mobile Enterprise and featured presentations from Symbian, Consult Hyperion and Sun, for whom Adrian Johns (me) presented on the WorkSmart initiative that are driving at Vodafone (see last Blog entry, "Connected EveryWhere").

Well this was certainly an interesting experience and having done it once I would love to do it again. I had to stand up in front of around 120 people from all over the mobile industry and present on why I believe that we have a truly mobile solution that will enable a "True Mobile Enterprise" experience, a solution built using our products from Sun Sercure Global Desktop to SunRay.

The whole event was filmed and simultaneously Pod cast and Blogged (not sure if this is a word, but I like it) around the world.

My piece went well and we had a lot of interest during and after the presentation and many people were surprised at what we can achieve with our products and partners product solutions. The formal bit only lasted two hours and my piece was 10 minutes plus questions followed by a 20 minute panel review for further questions.

We all then retired for beer and pizza.
