This session will address the exciting & fast growing areas of mobile commerce. The program will begin with an amazing story by Kris Haag about how the Department of Defense has created a mobile commerce system for both Iraq & Afghanistan to provide a ‘leave behind’ system that should help citizens and companies build a viable economy.
