In less than a week, CTIA 2008 kicks off in Las Vegas. The conference is publicized as the largest wireless conference in the world.

Bena Roberts, founder and chief editor of the blog GoMo News and Debi Jones will bring a compelling social media experience to the conference. They will kick off with a party on Sunday night (March 30th) to unveil a mobile video broadcast studio! An RV brightly marked will cruise up to the Las Vegas Conference Center and pick up interviewees who will be whisked away from the saturated towers serving the CC. They will set up to stream from the RV and go live using Flixwagon with a variety of pioneering people and innovative companies along side the big brands that fuel mobile content and services.

Watch GoMo News for all the up to date information on where and how to watch the broadcasts. A couple of Nokia N95s will be the video capture devices and Flixwagon as the service to stream from the device, store the videos and alert Twitter followers or Flixwagon fans that a new video is LIVE. The interviews and product demos are designed to be informative and conversational. The audience will be invited to join in with their own questions through chat during the broadcast. All broadcasts will be available here: www.flixwagon.com/ctia (coming up) 

We want to thank GoMo News on Wheels! for a great initiative and also to our fellow sponsors: Flixwagon, mPulse, MCN, and Smaato. And to the GoMo News Blender sponsor JumpTap.
