Mobile leaders from Google, Facebook, Nokia, Verizon Wireless, Pandora, Mozilla, WhatsApp, Telefonica and more are set to join us in conversation onstage on Oct. 29 and 30 in New York City.

We’ve lined up great new product demos, an interactive app showcase, and a series of short talks by end users from around the world whose lives have been significantly changed by mobile.

Ina Fried jetted to New York yesterday to greet the arrival of Microsoft’s Windows 8, and I’m joining her soon, along with Walt Mossberg, Kara Swisher and most of the ATD team. We’ll see many of you at the conference in person (we have just a handful of tickets left available here), and invite the rest to join us for a selection of livestreamed sessions.

As with all other D: All Things Digital conferences, Dive Into Mobile won’t be livestreamed in its entirety. But we did pick some winners for you to watch from afar.

Here’s the lineup:

• Monday, Oct. 29 at 5:20 pm ET: Andy Rubin, Google
• Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 8:35 am ET: Katie Jacobs Stanton, Twitter, and
  Cheryl Mills, U.S. State Department
• Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 9:35 am ET: Mike Schroepfer, Facebook
• Tuesday, October 30 at 10:45am ET: Bin Lin, Xiaomi

Note: All times are approximate and subject to change. Due to the nature of a live conference, there may be delays or changes in the schedule.

Some guidance on why we picked these particular talks, and why you won’t want to miss them:

Rubin will be heading to Dive Into Mobile directly from Google’s major Android product launch earlier that day.

Mills and Stanton will be having a rare public meeting-of-the-minds between a major social media player and government.

Facebook is all about mobile these days, especially now that the Wall Street folks have picked up on how important it is, and its engineering leader Schroepfer (a.k.a. “Shrep”) will address how the company is sprinting to keep pace.

And Lin is just days away from the release of the highly anticipated Xiaomi Phone 2, the direct-to-consumer top-of-the-line Android phone that is dramatically shaking up the Chinese market and has implications for the rest of the world.

Cheryl Mills has dealt with some major foreign policy challenges, including global hunger and food security, as well as leading the State Department’s diplomacy and development efforts in Haiti.

She will appear with a former colleague – Katie Jacobs Stanton, who is now Twitter’s international strategy head, after a stint at the State Department — to talk about the intersection of mobile and social media with foreign policy and humanitarian efforts around the globe, using the Haiti earthquake as a prime example. This topic couldn’t be more timely and Mills and Stanton are at the center of if all.

Mills was previously at New York University, Oxygen Media, and the White House Counsel’s office.

Joe Kennedy is the CEO of Pandora, the Internet radio company that is driven by mobile use.

Pandora shifted to mobile faster and better than many of its Web peers, but the company is still working on getting to profitability.

Still, the Pandora product has inspired much competition, most recently and notably from Spotify and, perhaps soon, Apple. In addition to that, we’ll definitely be talking to Kennedy about international expansion prospects.

Kennedy joined Pandora in 2004, after being at E-Loan and Saturn. He calls himself “Pandora’s resident pop music junkie.”

Register now if you’d like to join Mills, Kennedy and the rest of our fabulous lineup of Dive Into Mobile speakers from Google, Facebook, Nokia, WhatsApp, Xiaomi, Verizon Wireless and more, as well as a great array of start-ups and Global Voices. The conference runs Oct. 29 and 30 in New York City.
