Mobile Monday is organized by a group of dedicated volunteers from around the
world. Originating in Helsinki, Finland, in the year 2000, MobileMonday has
grown into the world’s leading mobile community.

History

The remarkable MobileMonday phenomenon began almost by accident in Helsinki,
Finland during the autumn of 2000. A couple of well-known Finnish visionaries, invited the who’s who of the Finnish mobile industry to a pub for an informal get-together and perhaps a warming drink. The only suitable time? Monday evening. After meeting many new faces and discussing the latest in mobility, the group decided to continue meeting on the first Monday of each month — and thus, MobileMonday was born. Towards the end of 2004, the movement started to spread to other areas of the world and new MoMo chapters were started in Tokyo, Japan, Silicon Valley, USA as well as Rome and Milan, Italy. Since then, the number of MobileMonday chapters and members has dramatically increased making MobileMonday the world’s leading mobile community. MobileMonday in Germany had a legal soft launch late in 2004, where the domain www.mobile-monday.de and www.mobilemonday.de were registered and was formally founded as a registered association on September 1st, 2006 in Munich.
