During the morning keynote sessions of the final day of the conference, thought leaders gave attendees an overview of the current environment and future opportunities for mobile internet services and applications. The main conference session floor was packed as Rich Miner of Google, Shashi Kavi of Ericcson, and Len Lauer of Qualcomm gave their keynote addresses.

Afterwards, an elite panel of experts participated on an Executive Roundtable to address the topic: "Enabling Mobile Internet Content and Applications." To round out the day, afternoon sessions zeroed in on four key areas of the mobile universe: Social Networking; Location Based Services; Mobile Internet Business Models; and a Mobile Internet World Venture Forum.

"The quality of the attendees and speakers is very high. The discussions we had with customers were focused, specific, and relatively advanced. The mobile industry has developed quickly over the past year and that means customers appreciate our technology even more," said Ran Farmer, Managing Director of U.S. Operation for Netbiscuits, reflecting on the conference from an exhibitor perspective. He added, "We've found the developer discussions to be particularly useful."

"Yankee Group has built on the strengths of last year's Mobile Internet World conference series, and we exceeded expectations, even in light of the current economic climate," said Eliot Weinman, President of the events and publishing division of Yankee Group, and Founder and Chairman of Mobile Internet World. "Attendees were able to witness the sea change happening in the mobile industry as we move towards truly open networks with exciting new services and applications," he said.  He added, "We were also extremely pleased to have received extensive press coverage of the event."
