Mobile Business Expo Set to Return to Chicago in 2006; Registration Now Open

CMP Media today announced the opening of registration for the second annual Mobile Business Expo, returning to Chicago from October 31 to November 3 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. The 2006 Mobile Business Expo will build upon its 2005 launch, which featured the mobility industry's leading vendors and industry experts, who will once again gather to discuss and debate the most important issues, strategies and technologies driving the business mobility market. This unique event will provide attendees with the latest technology solutions to build a mobile workforce and wirelessly extend existing asset management systems in order to increase communication, productivity and operational efficiency. Registration for Mobile Business Expo is now available at www.mobilebusinessexpo.com.

Mobile Business Expo is targeted towards IT professionals, business managers and channel professionals who are focused on leveraging wireless technologies and looking to integrate the disciplines, technologies and vendors involved in the enterprise mobility equation. Through demonstrations and quality education, attendees at Mobile Business Expo will take away the information they need to implement a secure, end-to-end mobile business plan -- one that delivers value throughout the organization -- including remote worker communication, field force data collection, internal asset management and tracking, customer service applications and sales support.

"Mobile Business Expo combines the business disciplines, technologies, tools and corporate issues involved in building and managing the enterprise mobility solution, said Steve Wylie, Mobile Business Expo General Manager and Conference Co-Chairman. "This unique event offers enterprise companies strategic and tactical information on how to put mobile communications and computing solutions to use within their organizations in a meaningful, manageable and comprehensive way."

"Mobile computing is one of the biggest factors affecting productivity levels in today's enterprise organizations," said Tim Downs, Mobile Business Expo Conference Co-Chairman and RFID World founder. "The number of mobile users is significantly increasing on a regular basis, and the information exchanged at Mobile Business Expo is extremely relevant to the success of their organizations. This event was created with the next generation of mobile technology buyers in mind."
