Mobile Imaging Perspectives: Program for CTIA Wireless 2005

Less than two weeks to go before the start of the "Mobile Imaging Perspectives" conference that will be held March 15 at the New Orleans convention center during the CTIA's Wireless 2005 conference.

The conference is developed by Future Image, an imaging (specalizing in mobile) consulting/research/publications group.  I'm participating in the mobile imaging conference so I guess I'm biased, but I think Future Image develops excellent events.
