Developments in wireless technology and personal broadband allow consumers complete wireless internet mobility. These same consumers who spend hours online engaged with social networks are now increasingly engaged with social networks on handheld devices. Consumers now have 24/7 access to these social engagements virtually anywhere and emerging mobile social networks are increasingly based on psychographic and demographic characteristics such interests, content preferences, location, ethnicity, age etc.. These sites also have the power to push the engineering of mobile devices to incorporate photo, video and audio sharing capabilities. Questions remain:

• Are these mobile social networks delivering opportunities for marketers and content providers?
• What does this mean for social networking sites who are looking to bring their content to a personal broadband device?
• How do you as a marketer introduce mobile components to your social networking sites? 
• How can you work with the carriers and devices to your advantage?
• Do the efforts of these sites and applications to monetization their user base create attractive outlets for your advertising dollars?

This timely panel of leading advertisers, marketers and content providers will assess the challenges and opportunities resulting from the mobile social networking revolution.
