	OVERVIEW & MISSION Climbing over hyperbole is one of the biggest obstacles confronting IT managers today as they select enterprise wireless solutions. 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 2005, Technology Managers Forum's sixth 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. Future Forum 2005 features IT managers from Fortune 500 companies as its panelists. Speakers will 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.
	REAL-WORLD CASE STUDIES Speakers on all panels include IT managers from Fortune 1000 companies who will discuss their own experiences in developing competitive and secure infrastructures. You will hear on our panels only real-world examples and case studies from your peers who have actually implemented the technology they are speaking about. No analysts, consultants, or academics speak at our events. And no press is allowed, so the discussion is honest and revealing. Our mission is to bring together colleagues who are facing similar challenges so they can explore together effective solutions based on real-world implementations. Vendor presentations are vetted beforehand to make sure they are applicable to our audience and provide useful material for IT managers, not hype. There are no product demonstrations.
	ATTENDANCE BY INVITATION ONLY All of our events are by-invitation-only. Our events are open only to members or invited guests, who must be currently employed IT managers at mid-to-large firms. See our full list of requirements for attendance below for more on who is eligible to attend our events. If you think you meet our requirements for attendance, apply for an invitation to attend below. No press is allowed at our events, ensuring free and uncensored discourse among speakers and attendees. And vendors of products or services of inteerest to IT managers must sponsor in order to attend.
