"Due to the significant rise of mobile commerce in both users and applications worlwide, the collective business attention is focused on the issues that face today's mobile economy. It seems only fitting that the Silicon Valley, which most visibly promotes this new wireless era, play host to the event that specifically addresses the greatest challenges to making its acceptance widespread throughout the financial, technological and healthcare industries worldwide," said Certicom President and CEO Rick Dalmazzi.
