MMT 09 Global Summit
The 2nd Annual MMT Global Summit returns to Dubai in October following its hugely successful launch last year. MMT 09 features a combination of visionary case studies from the likes of Karim Khoja, CEO, Roshan, Gautam Ivatury, Strategic Adviser, CGAP, Brad Jones, MD, Wing Cambodia and Jan Chipchase, Principal Scientist, Nokia, with strategic panel debates and roundtable discussions. It is a whole ecosystem event and all the key stakeholders are represented. Mobile networks rub shoulders with banks, MFIs and NGOs, 3rd party operators and mWallet vendors (often the same people!), Exchange Houses and the Money Transfer Networks themselves - even governments and regulators. We host a thriving exhibit hall with dozens of booths from the leading mWallet vendors, systems integrators and global hubs and this year have extended capacity to 35 booths due to popular demand!MMT 09 provides practical, "how to" advice on a number of key topics - from the fundamentals of the business model to the realities of establishing an agency network and acquiring and retaining customers, to the ever-present regulatory and technical questions. We also include an interactive session that aids technology selection. Speakers at MMT 09 have genuine 'hands dirty' experience of planning, piloting and launching MMT programmes and will hand you advice that will guide you through the design and roll out of your mobile money proposition.
