There is an amazing conference coming up next month at University of Michigan focused on the ever trendy Base of the Pyramid. C.K. Prahalad will be just one of the speakers at this 3 day event which is already sold out.
The William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan and the Center for Sustainable Global Enterprise at Cornell University are pleased to host Business with Four Billion: Creating Mutual Value at the Base of the Pyramid. This conference will be held in Ann Arbor, Michigan on September 9-11 and is sponsored by the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.
The conference builds on the growing global interest in enterprise-based strategies for serving the four billion poor at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP). We expect to bring together the leading BoP business managers, policy makers, social entrepreneurs, academics, non-profit experts, and development agency professionals.
The conference will feature plenary sessions by leading BoP experts that delve into each of these three topics, as well as concurrent sessions that provide an opportunity for participants to engage cutting-edge thinkers on specific issues.
I have been invited to speak on a panel Monday morning the 10th about Aryty. If you plan on attending the event and would like to get together please drop me email (nils.johnson@gorillamobile.com) Hope to see you there.
We have been getting emails from Piolo fans that couldn’t attend the Philippine Fiesta 2007 asking if we have more pictures of Piolo Pascual. The Aryty Team was lucky enough to go backstage to meet Piolo and get a few shots. Here you go na!

Many Filipinos in the U.S. and Canada carry a Philippine mobile phone with a Globe, Smart or Sun sim card to make it easier and more affordable for their loved ones to keep in touch via text.
Aryty not only allows you to send load to any mobile in the Philippines but also allows you to buy Globe, Smart or Sun Cellular load for a Philippine mobile phone that is roaming. Make sure your Philippine sim card doesn’t expire by buying small amounts of load frequently. The frequency of how often you need to buy load depends on if you are using Globe, Smart or Sun. You should check with them to see what it takes to prevent expiration. The easiest way not to forget to reload is by using Aryty scheduling. Just select the days you want load and let your phone get loaded automatically.
If you want to buy a Philippine sim card you can do so online from websites online such as Cellular Abroad.
Pops Fernandez and Piolo Pascual signing together was definitely a highlight of the Philippine Fiesta 2007. If you couldn’t attend here’s a clip for you to enjoy!
Last weekends Philippine Fiesta turned out to be a great event for all of us at Aryty. What better way to spend the weekend than meeting friends of Aryty while celebrating Philippine culture and passing out some free Globe, Smart and Sun load.
Thanks to the terrific Aryty team that made our exhibit and activities all possible! Without you guys it would have been just another event. Salamat po!
We’ve started posting photos from the Philippine Fiesta 2007 at the Meadowlands with more pics to come over the next few days. To check out Pops, Piolo, the Filipina beauty queens and lots more go to www.aryty.com/photos.

This past weekend Pops Fernandez joined the Aryty Team for a VIP lunch during the Philippine Fiesta and made a personal appearance in Aryty’s booth.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to Pops and chatting during lunch. The Concert Queen was even more amazing than I had expected! She was gracious and charming to speak with and her beauty unrivaled. A true diva! Pops will make anybodys heart skip a beat.
Aryty guests had the chance for intimate conversation and photos with Pops while enjoying delicious Filipino dishes. Following the lunch Pops dropped by the Aryty booth to allow some lucky fans the chance to get a picture and an autograph.

Lucky fans!
The Aryty Team stayed at the Fiesta through Pops final song as we are all now her biggest fans. We also made sure to also pick up a copy of her latest album Pops Silver. Can’t wait to see her again.
Piolo Pascual was at the Philippine Fiesta this weekend performing with Pops. I have to say I have never seen women scream so much at the sight of a celebrity before! As soon as Piolo entered the expo center women started screaming at the top of their lungs while chasing him down. Even the giant security guards from Serbia could barely hold the crowd back!
Crush ng bayan Piolo Pascual on the run!
It’s a tough life being chased by all the girls but someone’s gotta do it! Leave some for the rest of us Piolo.
New York and New Jersey is home to thousands of Filipinos and todays attendance at the Philippine Fiesta in the Meadowlands was standing room only. Starting with the young talents in the morning time to Piolo making a PA and almost bringing the house down!
The Aryty Team was busy giving away free Globe load, Smart load and Sun load to folks who stopped by the booth to say hello in addition to handing out some promos! Lots of Filipinos still don’t know how easy it can be to help a loved one by sending load so it was a great chance for us to spread the word. Surprisingly many people have roaming mobile phones from the Philippines and were excited to learn they can buy load and recharge their mobile using Aryty. A special surprise was Beau Canlas, the fast rising star on MYX coming to the event with his family from Virginia and the Philippines! He kicked it with the Aryty Team and even took pictures with fans.
Tomorrow the Fiesta will start with a mass at 10am and then the day really gets exciting with Pops Fernandez making an appearance in the Aryty booth at 2PM! What a true honor and privilege to have this beautiful filipina and Concert Queen stop by! Of course we know everyone will cherish a picture with Pops and we’re excited to offer the chance.
See Pops Fernandez, meet Beau from MYX, watch the Miss Philippine Fiesta pagent, hear the next Philippine Idol and enjoy Filipino cuisine all at the Philippine Fiesta 2007! oh….bring your friends by our booth so we can tell them about the best way to buy load too! Get Philippine Fiesta Details
