This is a shout-out to everyone in the North-West (of England, that is) who might be interested in a Mobile Monday chapter in Manchester (MoMoMa – doesn’t sound too bad, does it?).
We are looking to bring the wholesome mobile goodness that MoMo events deliver in more than 100 chapters around the world to Manchester, too. Manchester is the UK’s second-largest media hub. With the move of large parts of the BBC to their new home in MediaCityUK, this will be boosted even more. With ITV, MEN Media, Sony, Warner Games (Travelers’ Tales) and a huge number of production houses as well as mobile game studios and publishers (Chillingo, Connect 2 Media, Matmi to name a few) all up in and around the Manchester/Liverpool axis, there is huge potential! Add to that some of the most proactive universities and educational institutions in the space (in Liverpool, Manchester and up in Lancashire), we have too much talent to let it go wasted. Let us then take up the challenge and make it happen!

please do get in touch with us. I am helping out a little on this. The effort is being spearheaded by the good folks from Mobile Monday London, and there mainly by Helen Keegan (@technokitten).
Helen has also set up a LinkedIn Group, which I would urge you to join. Finally, you can also get in touch through this blog.
Go, my weathered Northeners, let’s show them :)!
