bMighty bMobile Virtual Expo Is Live NOW!

Right now, even as I type this, bMighty.com is venturing into the new arena of online events with the launch of bMighty bMobile, A Virtual Expo. It's the place to be -- right on your desktop!

I'm hosting the online event (free with registration), which started at 11am Eastern Time (8am Pacific Time) today with a keynote video presentation by Cisco VP Alan Cohen.

But at 12:30pm ET (9:30am PT), you can still catch mobility expert and InformationWeek blogger Eric Zeman and I talking about mobile security. I'll share some results from bMighty.com's exclusive original research on mobility, while Eric will run down the best ways to stay safe – from protecting laptops and smartphones to deploying VPNs and enabling remote access to company apps. Then we'll answer your questions.

At 2pm ET (11am PT), BlackBerry's Steve Knapp discusses mobility solution alternatives and provides specifics on how quickly you can be up and running along. And I'll help put it in perspective with more insights from bMighty.com's mobility research. Followed by Q&A, of course.

Finally, at 3:30pm ET (12:30pm PT) we bust the Top 5 mobility myths for small and midsize companies. Stephen Wellman, InformationWeek's "Over The Air" mobile blogger, debunks the 5 most common misperceptions concerning mobility for smaller companies, while Dan Rudolph from Motorola Good Technology Group explains the best practices for coping with those stark realities. And don't forget the Q&A!

But the Conference Hall sessions are only part of the Virtual Expo experience. At bMighty bMobile you can also visit booths in a virtual Exhibition Hall, where you can chat with vendor representatives in real time and download all sorts of useful stuff. If you'd rather connect with your peers at small and midsize companies, head over to the Networking Lounge.

Please join us right now if you can. But don't worry: If you can't make it, the entire thing will be available on demand for 3 months after December 4.

Oh, and did I mention that all attendees are eligible to win a Sony Blu-Ray DVD player or a Nintendo Wii game machine?
