Greetings,
Hope your summer is going well.
As Q2 earnings are coming in, the role of the fourth wave in shaping the mobile ecosystem is becoming apparent. The computing and communications landscape is changing in fundamental ways. Our fall mobile executive summit – Mobile Future Forward (Sept 10th in Seattle) is designed to explore these changes and opportunities in great detail.
Registration. Standard Saver expires July 31st (next week).
Wanted to provide an update on two important discussion areas –
Future of Computing and Communications
In the post-PC world, computing and communications are changing dramatically. What new device form-factors will evolve and what does that mean to applications, services, consumer interaction, and adoption? We will explore the deep stuff on this panel.
Kevin Packingham, Chief Product Officer, Samsung
Rick Osterloh, Senior Vice President – Product, Motorola, Google
Nick Wingfield, Technology Reporter, New York Times (moderator)
Operators and the 4th Wave
How are the operators taking advantage of the 4th wave and digital offering. We have 5 of the leading global operators to help brainstorm the next 5 years – where will the investments go, what strategies will be pursued, which verticals are ripe for disruption. Our distinguished guests represent practically every inhabited continent so am really looking forward to the global view of the opportunities in front of us.
Glenn Lurie, President – Emerging Enterprises and Partnerships, AT&T Mobility
Tracy Isacke, Head of Americas, Telefonica Digital
David Small, Chief Platform Officer, Verizon

We will provide regular updates as we add new executives to the program and continue to refine the discussion topics to give you the best learning and networking experience you can find in the mobile industry. As you know, our programs are deep in content and high on participant caliber. Each year we strive to bring together some of the leading thinkers and doers from around the world to brainstorm the future of mobile. As we like to call it – it is a mobile boot camp with the brightest brains in mobile.
We are delighted to be partnering with some of the leading players in the ecosystem: CitrixByteMobile, Ericsson, Intel, Juniper Networks, Oracle, Synchronoss, Tata Communications, and Telefonica.
Some of the outstanding group of executives who are responsible for changing the face of the industry every day will be leading the discussion. Their insights will be invaluable and actionable.
