GigaOM Announces Initial Speaker Lineup and Opens Registration for RoadMap 2013
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- GigaOM, a global technology media company, today announced the initial speaker lineup and opened registration for its third annual RoadMap conference, being held November 5-6 in San Francisco.
