An increasing number of organizations are shifting focus toward mobility and the availability of information in real-time. But many are ill-prepared to handle the challenges with mobility. And in some cases, the consumerization of IT is forcing their hand to ensure all devices accessing company data are secure. Join us to hear about the latest trends in enterprise mobility. Will it really kill the desktop? What are some strategies for dealing with the BYOD (bring your own device) environment? And what's the impact, if any, of the iGeneration workforce? |

A Panel Discussion with Solution Providers and Vendors The business of being an IT solution provider has changed substantially over the past 10 years, from being a mostly technically-oriented business that specializes in specifying, installing and supporting technology systems, to a primarily service-oriented business that specializes in identifying, addressing, and resolving customer business challenges. Join us to hear what trends are impacting this partner business model transformation and strategies to take advantage of the opportunities these changes present. We'll discuss the reality of responding to the cloud, including new pricing models, shifting margins, new business structures, evolving vendor programs, and customer adoption rates. Hear how to map your business plan to the "new channel." |
| 4 – 5 p.m. | CompTIA Vendor/Distributor Benefits Meeting |
| 5:15 – 6:15 p.m. | Keynote: Leadership at the Speed of Trust Stephen M.R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust and the recent follow-up book Smart Trust Trust is hard, real, and quantifiable. It measurably affects both speed and cost. A function of character and competence, trust can be created and destroyed, effectively taught and learned. In most cases, lost trust can even be restored. This fast-paced and engaging presentation dramatically reveals TRUST as the hidden variable that will become your most leverageable tool, giving you a distinct strategic advantage. By framing trust in a new light this presentation will: - Make the business and economic case for trust.
- Show how the ability to generate trust is the critical leadership competency in this new, global economy.
- Demonstrate how to master the skill of engendering trust both personally and in your organization.
