TechCrunchTalk Mobile 2.0 in Barcelona
2009 promises to be the year many of the predictions made about the rise of mobile may start to come true. Startups in the space are poised to take advantage of affordable mobile Internet access and sophisticated handsets like the iPhone. The question is, can they do it? That’s what TechCrunchTalk in Barcelona will seek to tease out from the assembled entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists that back them.
Here’s the press release we just put out:
TechCrunch Europe will be hosting a TechCrunchTalk event in Barcelona on Thursday 19th of February, 3pm-6.30pm followed by drinks and networking in conjunction with the GSM Mobile World Congress.
Where: Hotel1898.com, La Rambla, 109 (Entrance on Pintor Fortuny) – 08002 – Barcelona. Tel +34 93 552 95 52. Fax: +34 93 552 95 50.
“TechCrunchTalk Barcelona” is aimed at bringing together the Mobile 2.0 startup and VC community to debate the next phase of the mobile startup world. It will feature two quick-fire panel discussions with the hottest entrepreneurs and investors selected for their leading views on the market, and with topics focused around a number of themes, including:
– What will be the mobile trends over the coming year?
– What are VC’s looking for?
– Can the power of the operators really be disrupted?
– What value can be created in the mobile world in difficult economic times?
The panel discussions will be followed by casual networking over drinks.
