“We had two successful Mobile Imaging Summit conferences in Europe in 2004 and 2005, and have been looking for the right opportunity to return,” says Joe Byrd, president of 6Sight Conferences LLC. “When we were approached by Fadi Abbas, CMO and co-founder of Scalado, and Daniel Kipowski, business development manager of Invest in Skane, to bring our 6Sight Conference back to Europe, we welcomed the opportunity. There is so much mobile imaging innovation in this part of Sweden, this location will be a great fit for our event.”

“We are delighted 6Sight, our partner since 2002, gives us this huge recognition by bringing the most important mobile imaging event back to Europe with us as partners” says Abbas. “With our position as the centre of gravity of imaging, we will for sure bring major players from several markets to Skane.”

“South Sweden is a hotbed for research, innovation and entrepreneurship within mobile imaging,” says Kipowski. “We are excited about this opportunity to, along with 6Sight and Scalado, show the mobile imaging leaders why companies such as Apple, RIM, Intel, and ARM all have found acquisition opportunities within this domain in South Sweden during the last two years and why companies such as Scalado have been able to mature here.”
