Around 10,000 mobile Internet industry professionals from around the world will gather at GMIC this year for the world’s largest mobile Internet conference and exhibition.

As the world’s premier mobile industry event, the Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) has represented the forefront of the global mobile Internet industry for the past five years, and this year’s event will set the stage for the next phase of mobile innovation and development.

Mobile Internet is reaching a crucial new turning point, and traditional businesses and industries recognize that they must integrate mobile in their business strategies.
