Hi, My name is Vinnie Lauria and I'm one of the Ambassadors for the N2Y4 Mobile Challenge and Conference.   I was a Project Lead at last year's conference on a project to help people make informed decisions when buying green products.   This year, I'm wearing a different hat as an Ambassador to help build community around the event.

My experiences for this role come from a few different areas.   I'm the co-founder of a web-startup Lefora (we host free forums) and the Organizer of the Silicon Valley NewTech Meetup (a group of 3,800 tech enthusiasts in the bay area, about 150 of us get together each month to hear from new companies).

As an Ambassador, I'm here to help N2Y4 with the following:

• Help develop the sessions of the 2 day conference and invite expert speakers in the mobile space to come talk
• Invite people to the conference; this includes non-profits, mobile tech companies, and interested tech enthusiasts that could help volunteer with the event, such as being a Project Lead

Do you have any questions for me?   A suggestion of somebody I should reach out to?   Just drop me a line at @vlauria on twitter or send me an email at 'vincent -dot- lauria -at- gmail -dot- com'
