MERRIMACK, N.H. - Nov. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Heading into its fourth 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,hosted by nGage Events, is scheduled to take place May 13-15, 2014, at the La Costa Resort & Spa in San Diego, CA. M6 is an invitation-only event designed for senior managers and business executives who want to understand how current and future mobile technology and trends will impact their business and investment decisions.

150 select CIOs, Vice President’s and Heads of Mobile Strategy, from major enterprises will attend M6 2014 and will be treated to groundbreaking solutions to help Wireless become a business driver within their organizations. M6 will once again be the must attend summit for enterprise mobility across six major vertical segments including: Banking/Finance/Insurance; Retail; Healthcare; Manufacturing/Automotive; Energy/Utilities; and Higher Education.

“M6 2013 brought together leaders in the mobile industry with technology leaders from a diverse set of industries. In 2014 we will showcase best practices, deliver actionable insights, and foster more peer to peer communications. M6 is the place to share your knowledge, learn from the experts and design winning market strategies,” stated M6 Conference Chair Maribel Lopez, Principle Analyst, Lopez Research LLC.

M6 2013 was a major success for both sponsors and attendees. Keynote Sponsors included IBM, SAP and Symantec. For a full list of market leading sponsors that supported M6 visit www.m6mobilityxchange.com. Sponsors were once again thrilled with the quality of attendees, stating that they were meeting with qualified decision makers tasked with making major mobile decisions for their organizations.

George McQuillister, III, Principal IT Operations Architect, Pacific Gas and Electric attended M6 and stated, “This is my first time attending M6, and this has been a very rewarding experience and I have been 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. M6 was a very well executed event and I look forward to coming back next year.”

“The M6 unique format is something very new to me. I learned more in two days than I do at any other conferences. The keynote speakers are not providing typical sales pitches to the audience that you see at other events, but rather taking the time to update us on what is currently happening with mobility and I find that very refreshing. A number of the sponsors brought up ideas and solutions that I was not familiar with and I will definitely bring those ideas back home with me,” commented Joseph Kvedar, Director, Partners Healthcare.

M6 conducted a survey of attendees and 86% of the respondents were very satisfied with M6 and 90% stated they would recommend M6 to a peer. When asked if they have interest in purchasing products from the suppliers that were at M6, 74% stated “yes” with the remainder stating “maybe.” No attendees said “No.” 78% of the respondents stated that the networking and meetings with peers and suppliers will help them in their selection process of products, services, or solutions.

“We do a number of events but we found M6 to be exceptional in the quality of attendees, the event's format, and co-sponsors. The staff was extremely helpful, engaged and bent over backwards to make sure that we were taken care of. We expect to close some of our best business of the year based on the 1:1 meetings we had. I only wish there were more of these throughout the year.” Sage Osterfeld, CMO, AirPatrol Corp.

M6’s sponsor survey asked how it compared to other traditional exhibitions or conference experiences and 72% of the sponsors surveyed stated that M6 was much more intimate and business development focused than other events with a higher number of leads generated. 83% stated that they were very satisfied with the one-to-one meetings with the average number of qualified leads generated across all respondents being 12, yet running as high as 30+ for some sponsors.

“One of the things I love about M6 is the quality of the participants. There are a lot of forward thinkers and a great mix of both partners and solution providers that we are currently working with, as well as some Cisco customers discussing how we are delivering mobile solutions. M6 is more intimate in a sense that it sparks more dialogue and the format includes 1:1 meetings as well as case studies and fireside chats. The format is what makes M6 great. Participants are actively engaged compared to other events that are too large and overwhelming without active dialogue,” stated Alex Van Deusen, Director, Cisco.

Enterprise mobility is developing rapidly with emerging technologies, new solution providers and suppliers. Developing a strategy and making the right decisions is a major challenge. M6 is not an exhibition or traditional conference, but a world-class networking and business information exchange focused exclusively on the enterprise and designed to help attendees overcome these challenges.

The M6 Mobility xChange is scheduled to take place May 13-15, 2014, at the La Costa Resort & Spa in San Diego, CA. For information on sponsoring or attending the event please visit www.m6mobilityxchange.com or email David Pesko at dpesko@ngagevents.com .
