Hello Mobile Money Professionals,

I am pleased to announce that the Mobile Money Canada 2010 Conference is almost here and has come together extremely well.  I am thoroughly amazed at the talented and experienced mobile money innovators that will be on hand to discuss, educate, and debate all aspects of this growing industry in Canada. 

For those that attended last year’s conference, you will be delighted to know that this year’s conference will include presentations and case studies from an expanded sent of mobile money service and solution providers including SunTrust Bank, EnStream, Western Union Canada, MasterCard, PayPal, Telepin, and M-Com.

We will also have a special guest at the conference from the developing world. Zahir Khoja, Executive Director of M-Paisa, Afghanistan’s first mobile money transfer service, will describe the challenges of bringing Mobile Money to Afghanistan.  I am sure that many of the lessons learned that Zahir will share will be applicable to the developed world as well.   

If you have not registered as yet, please do so today at www.mobilemoneycanada.com.  We only have room for a few more people and as such, we are reserving those spaces for individuals involved with mobile money rollouts from financial institutions, mobile operators, and payment firms.   I do apologize that we cannot accommodate everyone at this time.

The final agenda will be released online later today.  For those that are interested, the following are a few of the key highlights.   I look forward to speaking with you at the conference.

Kind regards,

Brent Ho-Young
