This topic is closed off and you will be taken directly to the website.
Topics taken from open source list. I hope you find this useful.
This site is for our clients only as an information resource.
| Sponsors include major hardware, software, connectivity, peripheral,
consulting and communications companies. The event is for
executives, operations and project managers responsible for
implementing hand-held and PDA technology into their enterprise-
wide IT strategy within the water, gas, electric, cable and telephony
industries. It is also for those producing, selling, promoting, servicing,
consulting or financing Hand-held and PDA technology. |
| This EXPO will cover smart communication technology and Internet /
Intranet technology from the perspective of customer needs and the
impact on the existing hand-held and PDA hardware and software
vendor community. We will also discuss field automation and mobile
issues associated with functional and vertical markets. We have
expanded vendor exhibit areas (multiple 8X10 booths and 3X6
tables) either in a 6K sq. ft. ballroom or a 12K sq. ft. tent on-site.
The
exhibits and demo rooms (we have added 20 ) will be open the
entire three days and will be available to corporate attendees at no
or low cost. We have decreased the price of our regular Forum
sessions and included free staff badges for exhibitors for the Exhibit
area. |
