Party-goer Paul Mcnea, Director of Biz Dev for BUCK said “One of the events I was looking forward to most was the MEF networking party at the Picasso Museum and I wasn't disappointed. The MEF networking event reflected the building and was a stylish and engaging evening, a great mix of catching up with some old contacts while making some new ones all in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. I'll definitely be back in 2013.”

MEF LATAM M-Commerce Summit is resounding success

On the 22nd of September, MEF hosted its MEF LATAM M-Commerce Summit in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The event aimed to explore the topics of micro payments and virtual goods from the perspective of the many varied players in the market including content producers, online games companies, social networks, mobile carriers, billing aggregators, banks and credit card companies and more! Much to our delight, the gathering has already been hailed as a great success, with over 120 attendees from across the MEF membership and beyond giving a resoundingly positive response to the afternoon of panels and discussions, not to mention the fabulous cocktail party at the close of the day. This of course bodes extremely well for the impending MEF event in Miami, MEF Americas 2011:Mobile Content & Commerce.
