Daniel McKinnon, 1105 Media’s Vice President of Government Events, notes the crucial role mobility has played in federal government plans. “Surveys indicate federal employees are increasingly conducting daily job-related tasks on their smart phones and tablets. It is becoming imperative that government executives have the practical knowledge to address their key concerns before adopting mobile policies and technologies.”
