Living Labs Global partner with Yasmo Live to offer delegates a radically new networking experience

Nov. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- London: Yasmo Live announced today that it has entered a partnership with Living Labs Global, a pioneering initiative led by European Cities, to promote innovation in services and mobility in cities.

After joining forces with Barcelona, Copenhagen and Kaohsiung, Living Labs Global is hosting the ‘Summit on Service Innovation in Cities’, November 24-25 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where Yasmo Live will be offering its on-site networking services to maximise the delegates’ networking opportunities before, during and after the event.

Yasmo Live will allow users to search through picture-based profiles of fellow attendees directly on their phones, to identify contacts of interest instantly and to arrange on-the-spot meetings.

Sascha Haselmayer, General Director at Living Labs Global commented: ‘Mobility is a paradigm shift in which the user, as a citizen, professional or visitor, is expecting public and private services to be tailored to his needs, delivered on demand, anywhere. Yasmo Live fits perfectly with our mission to materialise the shift that new technologies are bringing and we are proud to be the early adopters of such an innovative networking tool at our conferences.’

Areti Kampyli, CEO of Yasmo Live, said: ‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Living Labs Global, whose objective is to make service innovation happen, as together we can create a springboard for technologies like Yasmo Live to improve our day-to-day lives.’
