To elevate the conversation from instructional to actionable strategies, the CTIA Power Series will offer three formats:

• Boardroom Sessions: Business visionaries will provide exclusive access to executive insights on a wide range of topics ranging from utilizing mobile applications to increase operational efficiencies to leveraging mobile marketing opportunities for brands both big and small.
• Speed Sessions: Five-minute presentations where wireless innovators will introduce their emerging technology ideas.
• Disruptathon: Developers of eight of the most disruptive enterprise mobile apps will deliver five-minute pitches, and a live audience will determine the winner based on uniqueness, design, model and disruptive positioning.  The eight finalists are determined after a national search of more than 100 companies and a competitive down select process by a team of industry judges.  The finalists will be announced mid-Sept. Developers interested in participating may apply online at www.ctiashows.com/disruptathon.

"While we've successfully educated CTIA ENTERPRISE & APPLICATIONS attendees and exhibitors on the numerous benefits of wireless data, applications and content over the last 16 years, we recognized the need to provide them an opportunity to get valuable input from those in the boardroom. The revised educational sessions will change the dynamics of the conversation by providing attendees a personal introduction to the powerful enterprise decision-makers who are shaping mobile initiatives," said Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director, CTIA.

The CTIA Power Series runs Oct. 11-12. The Boardroom Sessions and Speed Sessions will be moderated by members of the media. For more information about the Power Series, please visit: www.ctiashows.com/powerseries.
