We were asked by a reader to provide more details on the BlackBerry Innovation Forum and what it was all about. The forum was a chance for Enterprise and Government customers to come together and hear about some of the innovation happening at RIM – specifically on the PlayBook side. The event featured a PlayBook Roadmap session, more on BlackBerry Balance and a general Q&A.

Here are the details from the event:
BlackBerry PlayBook Roadmap
The next BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet OS will provide a slew of much anticipated features and functions. This session will take a deeper look into the setup and functionality of these new functions and we will also explore updates to Documents to Go, the new look and feel of Video Chat and other new features that make the BlackBerry PlayBook a productivity-packed tablet and a viable laptop replacement.
The Ideal Enterprise Solution for all your Mobility Needs
The landscape of the BlackBerry ecosystem is evolving to provide more function, more control and more possibilities for your business. Planning your backend infrastructure is a critical part in ensuring the long-term success of your mobile deployment. This session will guide you through the requirements for BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry PlayBook and additional personal liable devices.We will also provide the basics, tips and examples of how to architect a scalable, cost-controlled solution that provides the best-in-class BlackBerry manageability, reliability and security.
Managing Mobility
With the increasing number of employees “going mobile” IT organizations are tasked with supporting, managing and securing a wide array of devices. One thing an IT organization can’t afford is an increasing amount of backend systems to support the mobile workforce. Learn how Research In Motion is continuing to enhance how BlackBerry smartphones are managed in the enterprise through new tools that simplify administration while maintaining security.
Let us know if you have any questions about the topics above and we’ll let you know what was said. Again, we’ll hopefully have video from the event but we’re balancing our desire to tell the community and our need to be invited back to these events.
