The tech events theme that Topaz has blogged about these past few weeks continues — today with a focus on mobile. March is “mobile month” in Massachusetts — an effort supported by the Governor’is office, industry organizations like MassTLC and the British Consulate in Boston, and media like Xconomy. You can learn more about this and see a summary of the month’s events on the Mass Mobile Month website. This focus on mobile actually started a few weeks back with events like the MassTLC Mobile World Congress debrief. I missed that one, but I did catch last night’s Mobile Monday Boston event sponsored by the UK Trade and Investment group, featuring Boston area and UK-based mobile firms. There were a handful of company presentations, covering a broad range of mobile markets — for consumers, carriers, content developers. Two local firms I found fun and interesting — Textaurant (replacing those crazy restaurant pagers with text messages to your cellphone) and Hellovino (a free mobile wine pairing and recommendation service). Tonight the Mobile Month continues with the MassTLC’s Tech Tuesday event focus on mobile. These are great networking and learning opportunities — and this one promises to be particularly interesting.
