It will bring together successful entrepreneurs, business and political thought leaders, and top venture capitalists to spot trends and spark new ideas and initiatives.

Danger is making the mobile Internet a reality for consumers.

With compression and optimization technology, DangerŐs platform efficietly uses network resources while delivering a high-performance mobile experience. Danger licenses its software as a service to mobile operators worldwide.
"The AO100 companies are driving the next wave of innovative technologies that are disrupting the old guard and shaping the new media landscape," said Tony Perkins, founder of AlwaysOn. "As ever, we were inundated with nominations from leading companies, and it's heartening to know that tomorrow's thought leaders and technology visionaries are already out there. My congratulations to each AO100 winner - these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."
"It's gratifying that Danger is once again being recognized as part of the AO100," said Hank Nothhaft, chairman and CEO of Danger, Inc. "This award is a testament to Danger's focus on innovation and the tremendous work that has been done by our team over the last year."
"Danger users are more active than other mobile consumers and they are clearly on the forefront of some major industry trends, including social networking, blogging and mobile instant messaging," said Mark Fisher, Senior Vice President Marketing and Business Development, Danger. "We expect to see these trends continue, and in some cases accelerate as the next generation device hardware and service software becomes available."
