WASHINGTON, D.C. — CTIA ENTERPRISE & APPLICATIONS™ 2011 today announced its Partner Event Series schedule at the San Diego Convention Center, October 11-13, 2011. The Partner Event Series is designed to encourage conference attendees to participate in thought-provoking conversations on wireless industry trends across enterprise, consumer and vertical industries by featuring two programming categories: Mobile Enterprise and Vertical Markets and Apps, Software and Content.

The Mobile Enterprise and Vertical Markets sessions will examine how vertical enterprises – from finance and retail to manufacturing and healthcare – are using wireless technology to mobilize and improve their businesses.
