Climbing over hyperbole is one of the biggest obstacles confronting IT managers today as they select enterprise wireless solutions. Future Forum 2003, Technology Managers Forum's third annual conference on wireless technology, is a must-attend event for the corporate IT manager seeking to effectively implement and manage the exciting, but frequently confusing array of wireless devices and applications for the enterprise.

Some of the speakers at last year's Future Forum 2002, Corproate Challenge panel " Bird in the Hand: Supporting Multiple Devices": Carlos Recalde, Director Telecomm. & Arch. Americas, KPMG, LLP; Frank Brilliant, VP Business Solutions, Arch Wireless; Priscilla Tate, Executive Director, Technology Managers Forum; Malcolm Hunter, Wireless Services Analyst, Bear Stearns; Roy Emory, Development Program Manager United Parcel Service; and Ken LeVine, Director of Customer Implementation, Research in Motion (not shown).

The reality of mobile commerce is that once again, IT organizations must design and support applications for a user whose requirements are unknown and for whom the access points are uncharted. Future Forum 2003 speakers will feature IT managers from companies such as BEar Sterarns, CSFB, McCann-Erickson, Citigroup and other Fortune 500 companies. Speakers share their experience about how competing global standards and disparate networks are impacting IT decisions about everything from infrastructure to how we select business partners.
