Mobile advertising is rapidly growing worldwide as mobile handsets and browsers support both SMS text and banner displays, while advertisers, publishers and application developers realize mobile’s potential to increase direct response and engagement in mobile marketing and advertising campaigns.

Several times a year, Smaato, a pioneering mobile advertising firm, sponsors mobile industry round tables around the world, inviting thought leaders, who work in mobile advertising, mobile application development, mobile services, venture capital and the media, to share innovative ideas and discuss the future of mobile technology and mobile advertising.
