MAU is built with the community, not simply for it.”— Angela Harar, Vice President of Strategy and Growth at MAULAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, September 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MAU Vegas unveils a wider circle of industry collaborators, advocates, and counselors joining the MAU team for 2027, reinforcing its dedication to executive experience, event content, and the worldwide communities driving mobile’s evolution.

With MAU gearing up for its relocation to Bellagio Las Vegas, the organization is broadening its roster of embedded industry figures.

They are joined by Evelin Herrera, MAU Founder Ambassador and Founder of EHVM Capital, with EHVM Capital now serving as the Official Founders Experience Partner of MAU Vegas.

“MAU is built with the community, not simply for it,” said Angela Harar, Vice President, MAU Vegas. “The mobile ecosystem is transforming at a rapid pace. Remaining closely connected to those who are founding companies, steering major brands, and forging new business models gives us a direct pipeline to the discussions that matter — and enables us to continuously raise the bar for the caliber of the community we bring together.”

Alexandra Ivacheff — Executive Programming Partner

Alexandra Ivacheff joins MAU as Executive Programming Partner, contributing substantial expertise with top-tier enterprise brands, marketing executives, and the mobile growth sector. In this capacity, Ivacheff will also take a seat on the MAU Advisory Board, extending MAU’s established tradition of industry-driven content by broadening the network of mobile leaders who help surface and champion the discussions, viewpoints, and thought leaders defining the road ahead.

Amanda Lulewicz — Executive Experience Advisor

Amanda Lulewicz joins MAU as Executive Experience Advisor. Lulewicz previously held the role of VP of Growth at Muus Collective and, before that, served in senior product marketing positions at EA Mobile and Glu Mobile, where she contributed to celebrated lifestyle titles in mobile gaming such as Design Home, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, and Covet Fashion. In her work with MAU, Lulewicz will focus on crafting a more deliberate executive experience, improving how senior leaders interact with the event, with each other, and with the wider MAU community.

Evelin Herrera, Founder of EHVM Capital, remains MAU’s Founder Ambassador, while EHVM Capital takes on the role of Official Founders Experience Partner for MAU Vegas in 2027.

This deepened collaboration builds on Herrera and EHVM Capital’s efforts to cultivate an international network of founders, investors, and operators, linking that community to MAU Vegas. In 2027, Founders House will make its return at Bellagio, doubling its 2026 footprint and featuring an enriched agenda of founder-focused learning, networking, and community activities.

MAU Broadens Its Advisory Board

MAU is also widening its Advisory Board, integrating a broader range of insights from apps, gaming, commerce, creators, agencies, and entrepreneurship into its content development and speaker selection for 2027.

Newly added members include:

Carolina Paradas, General Manager, North America, ShopBack, the global shopping and rewards platform serving more than 45 million users across 12 APAC markets with a growing U.S. footprint;

Deepa Patel, Managing Director, North America, Virtue Worldwide, brings over twenty years of international brand and marketing expertise, including a tenure as Global Brand Director at Apple, with deep experience in building culturally resonant brands and fostering growth in technology and consumer sectors;

“Deepening MAU’s integration within the mobile app and gaming communities is crucial to maintaining the event’s relevance,” said Harar. “This network provides us with more perspectives and insights from within the industry, greater access to those driving it forward, and a pathway for rising leaders to join the MAU fold. Our role is not merely to mirror where mobile stands today, but to convene the individuals who can guide the industry toward what lies ahead.”

A Fresh MAU Vegas at Bellagio with Earlier Timing

This expansion comes as MAU Vegas gears up to relocate to its new base at Bellagio Las Vegas, May 4–6, 2027, featuring a reimagined format that prioritizes focused thought leadership, executive-level dialogues, and increased networking prospects.

Over the three days, sessions will tackle the forces reshaping mobile — spanning AI and agents to app discovery, advertising and measurement, app economics and subscriptions, gaming, creators, commerce, product growth, and the increasingly interconnected future of apps, web, and new platforms.

The MAU community will again assemble leaders from the globe’s foremost platforms, apps, brands, gaming firms, and mobile tech providers, with organizations such as AppsFlyer as Presenting Sponsor, Adjust as Brand Experience Partner, and Apple, Google, Meta, Paddle, and Roku represented among more than 150 solution providers.

With a new venue, an expanded industry network, and a redesigned programming approach, MAU 2027 is grounded in a fundamental idea: the future of mobile should be defined by those who are building it.
