VANCOUVER, BC, Monday, April 21, 2008 - As the result of an invitation from the Wireless Innovation Network of BC (WINBC), Jari Tammisto, President and CEO of MobileMonday Global, says his organization is now considering Vancouver as the location for its 2010 Global Summit. A final decision will be made this fall at the MobileMonday Global board of directors meeting.
