CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
No matter where we are at any point in space or time, constraints no longer exist to limit with whom, with what, and how we interact. Pervasive, standardized wireless and Web services have enabled us to work, shop, and play beyond the office, storefront, and arcade; today, we can “be” anywhere we can connect. Computing and data are moving away from desktops and laptops and into the Internet cloud, due in part to location transparency and mobile access.

For all these upsides, there are downsides as well. How will we cope with the opportunity, freedom, and complexity of mobility as mobile devices become the next dominant user interface? We’ll examine the technology and culture inherent in our on-the-move, always-on world, where ultramobile systems will be commonplace.

The new mobility and our integrated digital lifestyles will rely on supersmart cameras, tags, surfaces, sensors, payment cards, and even cars.  How will businesses cope with and react to smaller, cheaper, and faster mobile devices and technologies?
