The Global Mobile Internet Conference is hosted annually in Beijing and Silicon Valley. Mobile executives, entrepreneurs, developers, and investors from around the globe and across platforms attend GMIC each year.

History

The first annual Global Mobile Internet Conference (GMIC) was hosted in Beijing, China, April 23–25, 2009. The conference was organized by GWC to increase the dialogue between mobile internet companies in China and Japan. GWC was founded the previous year when a group of China-based mobile internet executives and entrepreneurs traveled to Japan to meet business partners. At this time, they recognized the opportunities for Japan-based companies to expand its business in China, and China-based companies to learn the new trends of the industry.

As of GMIC 2013, GMIC hosts tens of thousands of attendees from more than 60 countries.
