Live from CTIA Super Mobility 2015


GPS World reports live from CTIA Super Mobility 2015 in Las Vegas Sept. 8-11, organized by CTIA—The Wireless Association. The Western Hemisphere’s largest mobile innovation summit brings together 35,000 professionals who work in the mobile technology industry, including leaders in wireless, indoor location, connected car and Internet of Things (IoT), among many others.
GPS World digital editor Bethany Chambers and Wireless editor Janice Partyka will be reporting all week here on GPSWorld.com, on Facebook and on Twitter @GPSWorld. This convention is far from conventional in its use of multimedia to fuel the excitement surrounding all things mobile; the show has an official DJ in Los Angeles-based Bella Foxx and an emcee in Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che. Keynotes also follow the multimedia theme this year, with DreamWorks CEO & cofounder Jeffrey Katzenberg, Wikipedia founder Michael Wales and iHeartMedia Chairman Bob Pittman scheduled to appear.
