We are fortunate in the Northwest to be at the forefront of the mobile industry. Not only is the greater-Seattle area home to industry giants such as T-Mobile, Clearwire, AT&T Wireless and Microsoft, there are also numerous smaller companies that are fueling the growth and driving innovation in the mobile market.

The upcoming Mobile Breakfast Series: Startup Nation being held on June 10 provides a wonderful opportunity to hear from several industry greats. The quarterly breakfast series draws thought leaders and visionaries together to share ideas, perspective and insight on the mobile marketplace. For the June event, the organizers have drawn leaders from Root Wireless, Swype, Mobidia, Point Inside and Clearwire as well as several others to participate on two panels.

The first panel, “Mobile Opportunities and Challenges Through the Eyes of Startup CEOs,” will be moderated by Olga Kharif, senior writer, Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

The second panel titled “Startups Engage the Experts,” should offer a fascinating and lively discussion among a number of early startup leaders and seasoned veterans such as Bill Bryant, managing director of EnvisionVentures; Jeff Giard, director with Clearwire; and Peter Wilson formerly with Google and Microsoft.

If you work in the mobile space, it appears this is one of the key events of the year to attend. It offers an opportunity to hear from and network with key leaders in the mobile industry and really underscores Seattle’s position as a mobile mecca in the industry.
