We're kicking off Mobile Monday New York's fall season with a great September event. It seems to me like pundits and prognosticators have been telling us of the coming age of mobile commerce forever. Services that let us whip out our mobiles to buy candy from the drugstore, hop a cab ride, or grab coffee from the street cart have been in trials for years, but haven't been available to the masses. Finally, it feels like that's about to change. Over the last few months, big players have been rumbling about big plans with real technology, huge partnerships, and commitments to distribution. Join us Monday, September 26th for an evening hosted at Google NYC where leaders from established firms and innovative startups in the commerce space will come together for a panel. We'll discuss the pieces that are quickly coming together to create a mobile commerce ecosystem that seems poised to change the face of local buying and selling. Moderator: Mike Garelik Panelists: Spencer Spinnell (Director of Emerging Platforms, Google - working on Wallet Jacob Styburski (Director of Product Management, American Express / Serve) Jonty Kelt (CEO, Group Commerce) Mike Brody (Co-founder, Payfone) The panel will be followed by drinks provided by our friends at Blue Point Brewing Company and light snacks provided by Group Commerce and Payfone. Sponsorship: We are still accepting sponsorship proposals for MoMo NY's 2012 annual supporter program. Email us for details.
