We are happy to announce the first speakers for MLOVE ConFestival Europe 2012!

The expertise of the community is representing an international mobile avantgarde which is inspiring, motivating, educating, and will give goosebumps through knowledge and personality. We traveled the world to find them and have worked hard to arrange panels covering the most current mobile topics from Africa, communication through art & culture to sustainability… and many more.

The MLOVE ConFestival agenda is promising a well-balanced mix of experienced MLOVE speakers and representatives of the latest and coolest technological developments.

The MLOVE ConFestival has been named a “TED for Mobile” and a meetup of the “IT avantgarde” with an engaging and inspiring event format.

The location is a stunning medieval castle close to Berlin, the hottest startup city in the digital world right now.

The MLOVE ConFestival is focusing on innovative mobile opportunities for brands, entertainment and advertising as well as on the impact of mobile as a social catalyst for positive change.

MLOVE events bring together CEOs, innovators and entrepreneurs from across multiple disciplines to share, learn and cross-pollinate ideas with an array of scientists, artists and other thought leaders.

The event exposes the mobile industry to the best minds outside of mobile to maximize the opportunity of creating life-changing services and applications that can impact us all for the better.

MLOVE’s goal is to stimulate new ideas and thinking which you can apply to your life, your business and to inspire others.

How will mobile change your future?

The MLOVE ConFestival has been named a ‘TED for Mobile’ and a meetup of the ‘IT avantgarde’ with an engaging and inspiring format in the setting of a 19th century castle in the former Eastern Germany. The MLOVE ConFestival, hosted south of Berlin from June 29 to July 2, 2011 focused on innovative mobile opportunities for brands, entertainment and advertising and the impact of mobile as a social catalyst for positive change.

The MLOVE tribe started grass roots by an international group of “mobile passionistas” in 2008. Through MLOVE “camps” in Andorra, Barcelona, San Francisco, Munich, London, New York and Singapore the agenda for MLOVE evolved into more than mobile.

The MLOVE Report summarizes crucial topics for the Future of Mobile – as much more than a technical platform or a media channel: Mobile is becoming the remote control for our lives. The content features key insights from renowned international speakers of the MLOVE ConFestival 2011 and beautiful illustrations by ImageThink, New York.

“The MLOVE ConFestival 2011 cemented its reputation as a ‘TED for Mobile’ by spoiling attendees by three days of inspirational talks and workshops” stated Will Samson, Editor at Contagious Magazine.

“We learned. We ate. We drank. We burned things!” Find out more about this atmosphere in a 200 year old castle when an eclectic group 250+ mobile passionistas and thought leaders spend 2 nights and 3 days in an inspiring event format called the MLOVE ConFestival.

The MLOVE Report features topics like communication, education, entertainment, Japan, mHealth, Singularity and Sustainability. Interactive formats documented include the first MLOVE Teen Camp, open space and Future Cubes: ideation workshops in the setting of a 200-year-old barn.
