MEF MINUTE Quarterly Issue 1

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Dear Members,
I hope you will enjoy our first MEF MINUTE QUARTERLY
magazine, it is based on members’ requests to find
out all of the activities and topics that we cover in an
easier fashion. So here you will find some reminders of
what we have done in the quarter and what we will be
doing next. As always your feedback will help us
shaping this just like the our website, monthly and
weekly email.
MM/YYYYY | ISSUE NO. XX
The year has opened with more somber news in
terms of the pandemic but growth in most of the
mobile ecosystems is continuing strong (see our
Business Confidence Index). Digitalisation and mobility
are the key elements for consumers and enterprises’
response to economic recovery and lock down. It is the
time for transformation. We plan to spend much of
2021 to highlight the potential of mobile to be the
catalyst for much of this evolution in efficiency,
productivity and improved consumer experience.
MEF is now officially 20 year old, and we have marked
the anniversary with a celebration for some of the
people and members that have made the history of
the ‘Mobile Entertainment Forum’ and more recently
the ‘Mobile Ecosystem Forum.’ As an organisation MEF
has also transformed. Our roots have not changed
though: we are still a not for profit trade association
that support insight, networking, and monetization in
the mobile industry. Our membership has grown to a
new record and our offer has increased to include
large online members event such as MEF CONNECTS

Innovators and MEF CONNECTS Business Messaging.
Over 1,300 mobile professionals have joined our
events in the first quarter of 2021. It is unlikely that we
will be able to meet up in a face to face event for a
while. As I am writing to you MEF has cancelled its in
TITLE person presence HEREto ITW and MWC in June following
the lead from our members. We all wanted to start
meeting again but it is not the right time yet. We will
support both of these great events from our online
platform, and will continue to create more virtual

for our members to network and
discuss. A new series workgroups have been
announced for our members to access including two
