We are facing exciting times as an industry as we arrive for what promises to be another successful Wireless Leadership Summit. The Summit is, again this year, designed to support your continued growth as industry leaders. There are sessions with answers to business challenges you face, an exhibit hall full of the latest in technology and services and a keynote speaker, Vicki Hitzges, with timely advice on how to welcome and master change. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Summit is designed to provide you with time to spend with other attendees, creating new relationships and collaboration opportunities. The Summit, too, is always a celebration and recognition of the drive, vision, humility and courage that you bring as leaders as you shape the future of our industry. It is my pleasure, on behalf of the EWA members and Board of Directors, to welcome you to Dallas and to this year’s Wireless Leadership Summit.
Mark Crosby – President, CEO, Enterprise Wireless Alliance (EWA)
Thank you for joining us in Dallas for the 2016 Wireless Leadership Summit. This event is always the highlight of the year for the TRN board and membership because it gives us the opportunity to build on existing relationships and build new collaborations. The value of networking to any business, especially in today’s hyper-connected world, is more important than ever. It’s only at an event like this that we can spend time, away from the daily demands of our businesses, to meet with our peers and talk about our businesses in a thoughtful and strategic way. Thank you for taking the time to make this investment in your business and in our industry. I’m excited to see the new vendors in the exhibit hall and a great line-up of educational sessions and, of course, to spend time with each of our attendees. Welcome to Dallas!
Bill Dow – Executive Director, Technology Resource Network International (TRN International)
