Last night I braved the weather and traffic to attend the GigaOm Mobility Meetup at Opera (partially owned by tech entreprenuer Dave Williams). Maybe about a third or so of the 600 registered attendees managed to make the event and those that decided to stay dry missed a good one.

While the show started late and I had to jet early for a rendezvous with my SO, there was some good networking and high quality discussion from the stage. 

The thing about the event that stood out to me is that there were three tech startup accelerators supporting the event and in the crowd. ATDC, Atlanta Tech Village and Hypepotamus. That is about two more then you would have seen two years ago. Progress.

Atlanta has a strong mobile technology cluster and GigaOm a big focus on the sector. Despite the weather the event was a winner and I hope to see our friends from SF stay commited to the hosting a series of these events.
