Three issues includes future technology, growing security concerns and BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)’s turnaround.
Chen will be addressing audience of the forum about challenges that phone business might face due to the breach in the line drawn between work and personal communications. BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) phones were dubbed as the phones for professionals, whereas other smartphones from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung Electronics targeted phones for personal purposes. But, those clear distinctions between the purposes were broken down, which was the main reason for dip in BlackBerry’s market share.
He will also address about the ever growing security concerns during the proceedings. As the days roll, people want to enable all the functionality in their mobile devices, but with increasing functionalities the security risk also increases proportionately. Chen will talk about the need to adapt with increasing user demand. Chen will also talk about the BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)’s plans for the turnaround to lead in the upcoming mobile computing era.
