--------------
Dear CTOs,
Our next meeting is on Wireless - what we had to postpone in September. Michael Karasick, CTO and Director of Technology Pervasive Computing, IBM will share their vision for application development.
The last meetings, was a tremendous success - The panel on "Top 5 issues
facing a CTO", received phenomenal feedback. The strong panel, and discussions
brought us a collection of perspectives that is rare.
I have placed some of the foils on our
website, although they never take the place of the discussions.
Looking forward to meeting you.
