Grammy Winner John Mayer Headlines, Cirque Performers Entertain, at 2008 WES Party!

Take a break from the educational aspect of WES on Tuesday night - party night at WES. Kick-off time is 7 pm, with the always amazing Cirque USA showing off their acrobatic, aerial and dance maneuvers. Then unwind with our headliner, John Mayer, and his smooth, bluesy rhythms, such as "Waiting on the World to Change" and "Say". There's music, acrobatics, food and great company, all courtesy of this year's Platinum sponsors. Come for the spectacle, the show and the chance to know your fellow attendees better. The show wraps up at 11 pm, but transportation between all WES designated hotels runs until midnight.

Welcome Reception

Monday, May 12th, is your first chance to network with your peers, BlackBerry representatives, wireless vendors and solution providers as WES 2008 kicks off its biggest conference yet. Join us in the Solutions Showcase and enjoy light refreshments and dinner, live entertainment and a special introduction to our conference exhibitors before you immerse yourself in the excitement of the following days' events.

General Sessions

Year after year, the keynote speaker sessions prove to be some of the best attended and most informative events at this conference. This year we're pleased to welcome James M. Kilts, a world-class business leader, and Ray Kurzweil, an inventor, entrepreneur, author, and futurist to our General Sessions.

Lunch in the Solutions Showcase

What better way to recharge than with a complimentary lunch in the company of over 100 WES exhibitors? This is a great opportunity to network, have your questions answered by leading industry experts and get the information you need to implement or improve your company's wireless solution.

Lunch will be served daily between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday in the Solutions Showcase.
