Aside from the panels and breakout sessions going on at MobileBeat 2010, one of the major attraction of conferences is the chance to catch up with colleagues and new companies. The hallway is the place where networking happens, and MobileBeat 2010 is no exception.

The second floor of the Palace hotel is a favorite hangout between sessions.

Plenty of mini-sized basketballs around this conference.

“The ball represents our ideas,” said Tyler Bell (pictured left) from LikeList.

Exhibitions piqued attendees’ interest during breaks.

The breaks provided a great chance for shaking hands and exchanging business cards.

The Monday night reception was a chance to chill out after a day of keynotes, panels and breakout sessions.
