About this conference:

Government IT, Program, and Business Area Executives and Managers are 
quickly 
recognizing the exciting opportunity to extend their reach beyond the 
web to 
devices like cell phones, handheld computers, interactive pagers, Palm 
Pilots, 
and other PDAs. E-Government is also a key initiative of the new 
Administration. 
With the new e-Government applications and communications, computer 
security 
has emerged as a top issue and challenge. 

The commercial growth potential for this market is just about to 
explode. IDC 
Research projects that 61.5 million people will be 
using wireless devices to access the Internet in 2003. This is a 728% 
increase 
from the 7.4 million users today. Government business applications of 
wireless 
will track this explosive growth. 

This conference will highlight innovative management and technical 
approaches 
to the security of these mobile and wireless business and military 
applications 
and agency plans and programs for securing these applications.

Because of their importance to the government and the public, the 
conference 
will be recognizing government organizations who have demonstrated 
outstanding 
management and technical performance in security of mobile and wireless 
business 
(and military) applications.
