Greetings,

Mobile Future Forward is three weeks away and am pleased to announce our preliminary agenda. We have endeavored to gather our community to talk about the next phase of the industry growth. To paraphrase the legendary Wayne Gretzky, we ought to look at where the mobile puck is going. That’s what Mobile Future Forward Executive Summit is all about. By looking at what will generate the next trillions, we can start to put the pieces together to have a better grasp of the challenges and the opportunities.

We are expected to sell out so grab your seats today.

Keynote Fireside – The Shift towards Services

AT&T is one of the leaders in the mobile market. In fact, it is amongst the top three global players in terms of revenues from mobile data services. Under the deft stewardship of Ralph de la Vega, President and CEO of AT&T Mobility since 2007, AT&T has continued to pioneer new business models and revenue streams. He has led AT&T to become an undisputed leader in mobile broadband and smartphone adoption. Starting from the industry defining iPhone launch in 2007 to the launch of digital solutions in 2013, Ralph has been ahead of the curve. Ralph and his team saw the coming shift to solutions and services and mobilized the resources by focusing on some key vertical areas such as Home Security, Commerce, and Connected Auto. We will kick things off by getting the pulse of the industry and see opportunities through Ralph’s prism.
