DETROIT – The hiatus is almost over! After two years in a holding
pattern due to the out-of-state relocation of the chapter’s former local leadership,
Mobile Monday Lansing now has a new Steering Committee Chairperson in Leo Dion,
CEO of Lansing-based Bright Digit and Chief Experience Officer for East Lansing’s,
Driver On Tap. Arrangements are also being finalized for a sponsorship from RMC
and a new ‘home’ for the group at the East Lansing Technology Innovation Center,
where the group will meet monthly on Monday evenings. Details will be available
soon. All Mobile Monday Lansing events are FREE to attend.
Plans are currently in development to re-launch the Lansing
chapter for monthly events beginning late-Summer or early Fall.
MTAM and the local organizer, Leo Dion, are currently seeking:
Members of the Lansing-area community engaged in mobile/wireless
tech – in any industry – who would have interest in serving on the chapter’s
Steering Committee to help plan topics and line up speakers for monthly events
Submission of mobile/wireless-focused topic ideas for future
events that will be of interest to members of the Lansing-area tech community.
Submission of Lansing area-based speakers from any industry, and
their email contact info, who are interested in sharing expertise related to
the use of mobile/wireless technologies
Anyone interested in participating on the Steering Committee, or
wanting to submit a topic or speaker for consideration, can contact MTAM at

Mobile Monday Michigan is a subsidiary of the Mobile Technology
Association of Michigan (MTAM), and the local branch of the international
Mobile Monday Organization. It is an open community of mobile/wireless industry
visionaries, developers and influencers – from all industries – who meet
regularly at networking/education-focused Meetups for idea sharing, product
demos, trends discussion, educational presentations, networking and more.
“Lansing really needs a resource focused on mobile/wireless tech
where people can go to get advice, make connections, learn about the latest in
mobile/wireless tech, and gain new opportunities,” says Chapter Leader, Leo
Dion. “Mobile Mondays provide all this and more, and because we have the
support of MTAM and the state’s other Mobile Monday Michigan chapters in
Detroit, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, we should have a wealth of opportunity to
bring great information to the Lansing tech community!”
MTAM Executive Director, Linda Daichendt said: “We’ve had
many requests from members of the Lansing tech community to get the chapter
active again, now we have someone from the area willing to help us lead that
effort. It’s very important to us that we have local leadership running these
chapters because they are more aware of the needs of the local tech community.
However, Leo can’t do it alone and we’re certainly hoping some other members of
the Lansing tech community will volunteer to assist this effort as well.”
