Attend "The 20-Year Anniversary of the SmartPhone" SFTA Event

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first SmartPhone, the Simon, which was developed by IBM in South Florida! This area is also driving many of the latest mobility developments at companies like Motorola, Citrix, RIM, AuthenTec (recently acquired by Apple), Foxconn, 3C Interactive, OpenPeak, Modernizing Medicine and many others.

Join Chris Fleck, VP of Mobility Solutions at Citrix, as he moderates this all-star panel:

Scott Moody – Founder of AuthenTec, recently acquired by Apple
