London, UK & San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 07, 2013 -- Launched in 2008, at the dawn of the mobile Internet era, The Open Mobile Summit has quickly become the meeting place for the converging wireless and Internet industries, attracting a broad range of big-name speakers, as well as a huge media attention.

Past speakers include Dan Hesse, CEO, Sprint; John Donahoe, CEO, eBay; Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google; David Marcus, President, PayPal; Warren East, CEO, ARM; and Kevin Packingham, Chief Product Officer, Samsung.

While the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is arguably the biggest mobile event in the world, The Open Mobile Summit, with its C-level attendance, inner-circle networking and broad focus on the future of converged mobile, Internet, media and commerce, is recognized by many as the most influential.

Speakers at The Open Mobile Summit have included Stephen Elop, CEO, Nokia; Dan Hesse, CEO, Sprint; John Donahoe, CEO, eBay; Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google; Rich Miner, co-founder, Android; and top execs from Samsung, HTC, Vodafone, Facebook, Amazon, Tesco and many more.

The acquisition of The Open Mobile Summit rounds out FCBI’s already sizeable portfolio of industry-specific brands, which include Telematics Update, M for Mobile, eyeforpharma, CSP Today, Wind Energy Update, Ethical Corporation and EyeforTravel. It also paves the way for future growth of FCBI in mobile.

“We’re excited about the acquisition of Open Mobile Media,” says Guy Grant, FCBI’s founder. “It will provide a lynchpin for the growth of our existing assets in location-based services, mobile payments, the mobile wallet, near field communication and our other niche mobile events.”
Adds The Open Mobile Summit founder Robin Batt, “I’m delighted that FCBI will be driving the next phase of growth – as every business on the planet joins the ‘open mobile’ revolution.”

This next phase of growth, backed up by FCBI’s research, project management and marketing resources, includes a new Open Mobile Summit event on the East Coast of the United States later next year, and plans to leverage FCBI’s strengths in Latin America and Asia to develop a range of regional events.

The regional events will either be conceived as broad, summit-style gatherings or focus on specific verticals, such as media and advertising, commerce and brands, enterprise and M2M, and apps and mobile tech.

Timeliness of the acquisition is underscored by the fact that a number of FCBI’s current areas of coverage, including automotive, pharma, health, travel, transport and gaming, are being disrupted by mobile, says Precksha Saksena-Sood, general manager of Open Mobile Media.

She expects The Open Mobile Summit to bring a new depth of insight to these and other areas under FCBI’s purview. “This acquisition is going to further augment our presence in mobile and will help us address our customers’ business needs,“ she says.

The Open Mobile Summit (OMS)

The Open Mobile Summit strives to address all the critical issues of the wireless and Internet convergence, for all the players in the ecosystem – from device manufacturers and carriers through to Internet and media giants, commerce and retailers, electronics and PC manufacturers, market innovators and app publishers. Each summit agenda is built in close dialogue with confirmed VIP speakers and finalized as near to the event as possible to ensure maximum timeliness. This year’s topics for San Francisco include mobile video, wearables, the role of mobile in retail, the future of device design, mobile enterprise, connected lifestyle, Big Data and real-time analytics, mobile advertising and the latest trends in app monetization.
