  SIME 08 partners up with Traveas

I am extremely proud to say that we have now presented our partnership with SIME 08 (Scandinavian Interactive Media Event 2008). SIME is the leading event in Northern Europe when it comes to digital opportunities. This years event is taking place on the 12^th and 13^th of November at the Rigoletto Theater at Kungsgatan in Stockholm,  Sweden.

Traveas role is to provide all international speakers at SIME with automatically updated status about their flights to Stockholm, directly in their mobile phone. The speakers will get a personalized mobile itinerary containing all relevant information about their trip to Stockholm, such as flight dates and times, name, address and a map to their hotel as well as current weather in Stockholm. In addition to the mobile itinerary the Traveas TravealTracker is also activated, so for any change that occurs on the trip the speaker automatically receives an SMS update with the latest flight status.

Read an interview with me here by Andie Nordgren, the eminent editor of the SIME site and the official SIME Blog. You can also read more about our partnership in the SIME-Traveas Press release.

I am extra proud to enter the partnership as this year´s theme for SIME is: The DNA of Change and I truly believe that our services is making change within the travel industry. Firstly by switching the power of the industry from airlines and companies to travellers and individuals, secondly from an environmental perspective (more about that in a coming blogpost).

If you haven´t yet decided to visit SIME, maybe this selection of speakers can help your decision:

• Michael J. Wolf  (Author, former President MTV Networks)
• David Sifry (Founder of Technorati)
• Hans Rosling (Founder of Gapminder, professor at Karolinska Institutet)
• Joi Ito (CEO of Creative Commons, Chairman of Six Apart Japan etc.)
• Pelle Törnberg (former CEO Metro, former CEO MTG.)
• Lena K Samuelsson (Editor in Chief at Svenska Dagbladet)

Read more about these and the rest of the confirmed speakers here.
