It's been great year for MoMoTLV, we held 10 event in 10 different topics, where we brought you around 40 speakers from Israel and abroad. Our community has grown in a single year to 800 members and still growing up every month.

We also made an international impact when fring, the Israeli startup we sent to the Mobile Peer Awards in Barcelona competed with 40+ startups from all over the world and won the community award, definitely an impressive achievement!

Thanks again for our annual sponsors Orange and Amdocs for supporting our events all throughout this year - we couldn't do it without you!

Also thanks goes to the special event sponsor NAVTEQ Network for Developers, for their support of the Israeli mobile community. We remind you that if you have an innovative location application you can still register to the ESNC competition and perhaps win the NAVTEQ special prize.
