How is your facility handling mobile services demand?
May 2, 2012 - PRLog -- With the rapid expansion of the use of mobile technology by consumers and businesses today there is a high level of expectation that there will be reliable mobile service and full access to all mobile device features at all times - even when among thousands of others who are demanding the same level of service and capability. The question then arises - can entertainment venues, commercial buildings, and public events meet these limitless demands and still leverage mobile technologies to streamline operations and engage their patrons and other stakeholders?

This session of Mobile Monday Detroit will focus on topics that are extremely important for any organization challenged to satisfy the mobile service needs of the mobile masses, including:  financial considerations for building out the necessary infrastructure, technology considerations explained to non-technical decision-makers, and everyone's favorite... how can venues utilize mobile technologies to deliver value?
Meeting these demands is possible, and our speakers will tell you how to meet the challenge!

Speakers for the evening will include:

•   Scott Wruble, Vice-president of Information Technology for Palace Sports & Entertainment
•   David Mexicotte, Mobility / Wireless Specialist for Cisco Systems
