Feeling Thankful - Is there an App for That?

Happy Thanksgiving!
I am thankful for mobile apps and social media that let me connect, and stay connected with so many kind people and friends.  Just yesterday my wife and I met up with a high school friend, Marti, we had not seen in 25 years.  I was in a business meeting in downtown Portland, Oregon for several hours, but was able to track their location and meet up with them later in the day via SMS and Google maps on my smartphone. This friendship was reestablished via Facebook.

Today we are meeting another high school friend, Candy, that we had lost contact with for decades, but we are now the closest of friends after connecting again via Facebook.

I record corny video commentaries and interviews with experts that many of you have started watching, but few have finished. This year I have recorded 67 videos (don't view them if you are allergic to corny).  My friends, when trying to bolster my ego call them "authentic," but they are most often corny. When traveling I use my iPhone to film them.  I can record, edit and upload my videos to a YouTube channel all from my iPhone that fits in my pocket.  I can bring you with me on my travels and into discusses with leading mobility experts around the globe.

Social media and mobile technologies has enabled a redneck, Boise, Idaho based, mobility obsessed former dairy farmer to travel to the corners of the earth on a regular basis sharing mobile and digital transformation strategies and research with companies.  This is just crazy to me, and for that I THANK YOU!!!!

2015 Enterprise Mobility Events Announced

I will be attending these!!!

nGage Events Announces 2015 Event Dates For Award Winning M6 Mobility xChange, M-Enterprise Boston and M-Enterprise Canada. 

Scarborough, ME November 10, 2015 -- nGage Events announced it has added two mobility summits to its mobile events portfolio. The award winning M6 Mobility xChange is scheduled for May 17-19, 2015 at the Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad, CA and the second year M-Enterprise Summit Boston will be held October 19-21, 2015 at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA. New to the portfolio is M-Enterprise Canada which will take place October 27-29, 2015 in Toronto, Canada.

nGage Events believes strongly that the future of B2B mobile events is focused, appointment-based, hosted summits. Our mobility summits bring together C-Suite, Vice Presidents, Directors of Mobile Strategy, IT, Field Workforce, Architecture and Operations professionals from major organizations to learn how to use mobile technology to increase productivity, profitability, and improve customer service and experience. Sponsors are able to engage directly with these decision-makers looking for mobile solutions. The goal is to make the event an absolute "win-win" for both the attendee and the sponsor.

"M-Enterprise brought real world experiences and best practices to an audience that was looking to get to the next level with their mobile investment. It provided an incredibly valuable opportunity to learn not just what it takes to drive mobile adoption in the enterprise, but also what it takes to create business processes and experiences that can change the game for your business."- Michael Gilfix, Director, IBM, Enterprise Mobile Product Management

"In 2011 we launched Mobility xChange as the platform for our enterprise summits. We started with one vertically aligned summit in the Enterprise Mobility space, and due to the success of that event we have expanded in 2015 to three venues with future growth plans.  Mobility has become instrumental in increasing the efficiency of customer interaction regardless of industry and we have seen enterprises develop new business models, moving away from legacy approaches in IT.  We continue to see our events as an effective platform for end users and solution providers to meet, create deal flow and discover further how mobility can be the ultimate business driver for their organizations.", commented Paul Samargedlis, Senior Vice President at nGage Events.

In its fifth year, the M6 Mobility xChange is the longest running hosted enterprise mobility summit focused exclusively on bringing an executive audience together to discuss strategy, policy, and solutions to advance their business objectives. M6 has become the must attend platform in driving mobile investments and propelling growth of the global enterprise mobility market. M6 invites 125-150 select attendees and focuses on six key vertical segments: Banking, Finance Services, & Insurance; Retail & Point of Sale; Healthcare; Manufacturing & Automotive; Energy & Utility; and a Cross Vertical Segment.

"A lot of other events that I attend are more vendor fair organized and what's different and nice about M6 is you get a 1:1 connection with a number of people in the industry as well as end users in the industry, and that's the benefit to M6 compared to other tradeshows."- Adam Stein, Vice President, Mobile Solution & Product Marketing, SAP

Unlike M6, M-Enterprise Boston and M-Enterprise Canada take a horizontal approach to mobility, bringing in the same senior level of qualified decision-maker attendees and leading suppliers. The continued success of M6 along with requests from sponsors to provide this effective business forum more than once a year, has pushed nGage Events to expand to three separate events. The overall portfolio enables sponsors to connect with over 275 qualified attendees throughout 2015.

"At our 2014 mobile events, business leaders discussed the challenges and shared their wisdom on opportunities they experienced in going mobile. In 2015, we're going to explore building the strategy and technical implication requirements for building apps that matter. We'll also look at how companies are using IoT, wearables, big data and new analytics tools to reinvent business and drive competitive advantage.", commented Conference Chair Maribel Lopez, Founder, Lopez Research LLC.

"The M-Enterprise Summit was a very rewarding experience and I was able to make numerous connections with people across multiple verticals. The mobility landscape is consistently changing and for us to stay ahead of the curve we need to bounce ideas off of each other and think outside the box. It was a very well executed event and I look forward to coming back next year!"- George McQuillister, Principal IT Architect, Mobile Operations Support, Pacific Gas & Electric Company

Enterprise mobility is complex and continues to challenge organizations as they try to keep up with rapid advancements.  Developing a strategy and making the right decisions is a major challenge for IT executives. Our events are not exhibitions or traditional conferences, but focused world-class networking and business information exchanges designed to help IT executives overcome challenges.
