Hello Canada,

Are you ready???  We have exactly two weeks to go until Mobile Money Canada and I cannot wait to meet each of you that were able to register to attend the event.  We have executives from all across the Mobile Money ecosystem coming in from all across North America to discuss, debate, and develop relationships that will help to foster the growth of this industry in Canada.

I have some great news to share as well.  I was able to confirm today that Robin Dua will be conducting the Mobile Money Canada Keynote presentation, “Why Will Mobile Financial Services Matter to Canadians?” For those of you who do not Robin, he is the President of EnStream LP, a mobile commerce joint venture company owned by Canada’s big three mobile operators (Bell, Rogers, & Telus). 

Robin was also instrumental in rolling out Canada’s first person to person mobile money transfer and payment service, Zoompass.   Robin is a dynamic speaker, mobile money visionary, with deep experience within the mobile, payments, and internet industries and we are extremely fortunate to have him take time out to share his perspectives on why and what mobile financial services are important to Canadians.

I'm sure that this keynote will be like nothing Canada has seen
