The star studded panel included Mike Fidler, CEO with Digeo/Vulcan; Will Hodgman, CEO/President with M:Metrics; Sheryl Wilkerson, VP Business Development and Government Affairs, with Ygomi, LLC; Joseph Ruggiero, Assistant General Counsel for State Regulatory, with Verizon; and Manoj Gupta, Senior Business Development Manager with Microsoft/Xbox.
