What Will You Miss?
Every year, after a couple of days at the Enterprise Wireless Alliance conference, attendees report returning to their businesses with new ideas, strategies and insights into the future - ones they just don't get from reading industry publications. It's the personal interaction with experts and time spent with peers that makes the return on investment in time at the conference so valuable. This year's opening session on November 4 on the future of wireless technology, predictions on regulatory and policy issues in 2011 and public safety users' key issues is worth the registration. We hope to see you November 3-5 at Enterprise Wireless 2010 at the Omni Championsgate in Orlando, Florida.
