When people think about where the mobile and wireless industry thrives, a number of regions spring to mind: Scandinavia has been a leader in wireless technology development; the Seattle area has its share of wireless companies as does New Jersey; of course there’s the Silicon Valley. Often lost in the mix is Portland, Oregon. But Portland has a thriving mobile industry with a number of important players and is also where a growing number of important trade editors and reporters call home.

To help promote the local mobile industry and enhance the business environment to keep it thriving, a group of Portland-based industry people met at CTIA and committed to start a local chapter of Mobile Monday.

Mobile Monday Portland — or MoMoPDX — is intended to network together local individuals and companies within the local mobile space.  MoMoPDX is about sharing ideas, networking, education, business development and social interaction.  One Monday every month there will be a MoMoPDX event.  The events will include presentations and panel discussions from those people in our industry with unique mobile expertise and experience.  Each event will also provide attendees ample time to network and socialize.

MoMoPDX is now seeking members, sponsor organizations, media partners and researching venues with an aim to begin holding events this summer.  Anyone interested in MoMoPDX is encouraged to sign up at our Yahoo! Groups page and follow us on Twitter:
