Craig David will also perform at the Congress' sell out GSMA Awards the night before.
The new Mobile Entertainment Summit reflects a growing movement by the mobile and interactive entertainment industries to join forces and capitalise on the potential growth of mobile entertainment as a revenue stream. Starting on Tuesday 14th February, the Summit will run for three days and promises speakers from Disney, Electronic Arts, Nokia, Vodafone, Motorola, MTV, Sony BMG, Universal and EMI Music. Craig David's performance at the Summit will be followed by a conversation with one of the industry's leading authorities on mobile entertainment, Ralph Simon, about Craig's interest and involvement in mobile and mobile music.
"The Mobile Entertainment Summit is potentially the most exciting part of this year's Congress and it's fitting that we have award winning music sensation Craig David, who is also a mobile technology enthusiast to help us launch it," said Bill Gajda, chief marketing officer for the GSM Association. "As the world's leading entertainment companies accelerate their plans to channel their content onto mobile devices, there is no better place to meet and forge partnerships with the world's buyers of that content - the global operator community - than at the 3GSM World Congress."
