Applications to present must be submitted to MobiTechFest before Sept. 23 in order to be considered. "We are very pleased to have lined up such an impressive group of investors for MobiTechFest," said Gopan Madathil, President of Investorfest Media. "The entrepreneur-only setting provides is unique, giving the entrepreneur a chance to meet, network and interact with qualified investors throughout the day at the conference. Additionally, our partnership with CTIA provides an unparalleled opportunity for mobile start-ups to gain international exposure." "Innovation is thriving in the wireless ecosystem, and we think the MobiTechFest partnership with CTIA will give entrepreneurs an incredible opportunity to share their vision for the latest mobile business opportunities," said Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director for CTIA.
