Naveen Jain, Speaker at the Andrew Seybold’s Summit 4Mobility 2000
Intelius CEO and founder Naveen Jain was the opening day major speaker at Andrew Seybold’s Summit 4Mobility in 2000. Summit 4Mobility is the first in an annual exclusive series of conferences on the incorporation of wireless Internet and mobile computing. The conference took place in Phoenix, Arizona, from February 13-15 at the Arizona Baltimore. The event was co-hosted by Forbes, Andrew Seybold’s Outlook, and the Wireless Week Magazine.
Andrew Seybold explained why they chose Naveen Jain as speaker. The event’s organizer said: “With his extensive networking, Internet, and information sciences experience, Naveen Jain is exceptionally qualified to bring perspective to the interaction between mobile computing, the Internet, and wireless communications.”
He added, “He is an innovator who combines global technological vision with the ability to harness that vision for highly specific purposes. We are extremely proud to present Jain to our high-level audience of technology industry CEOs.”
Naveen Jain’s speech was entitled “The Wireless Internet Economy-Developing the Platform for Commerce on Wireless Devices.” This took conference participants behind the company’s portal sites, which are the clear information sources, to scrutinize what Naveen Jain conveys as the “Information Operating System,” which is the actual dissemination mechanism for the communications services that are supplied through the portal sites of Intelius.
It was in 2003 that Naveen Jain founded Intelius, a Washington-based Internet service company. The India-born entrepreneur has earned renown for his technological contributions and his innovative and modern approach to the dissemination of information. He was honored as the Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year at the 9th annual Ernst & Young Pacific Northwest Entrepreneur of the Year awards ceremony in June 1999. Naveen Jain also was listed among the Top 20 Entrepreneurs in Digital Technology by The Red Herring, a magazine for the investment industry.
Attendance of the event was limited to 200 participants, and the people who came were Chief Executive Officers from computer, wireless telecommunications, and Internet service providers. Sponsors of the summit included Infowave Software, Inc., GoAmerica Communications Corporation, Microsoft, Inc., and Nortel Networks Corporation.
