The Internet of Things is here and is changing the way we do business as we know it. Four IoT thought leaders and their customers are coming together to share thoughts and open discussions around innovating business and the world around us with the Internet of Things.
As partners in the IoT world, we've come together to take the cloud to the EDGE. The edge of what you ask? Shifting from the "connected device" to the "intelligent device" is computing on the edge. Making a connected device faster, smarter, autonomous, and innovative than ever before. This is changing the way we build IoT systems by enabling a new generation of low latency, intelligent analytics that can process and act on the device-generated data in real-time, applicable to all industries.
Come sit on the edge with us for a day of keynotes, presentations, and networking with peers and industry leaders who are shaking up IoT. You'll have the opportunity to hear stories from customers, ask a panel of industry leaders questions, see it all in the flesh with a real and live conveyor belt machine that will be on site, and more. We’ve carefully crafted an incredible line-up of presenters who are prepared to arm you with new strategies, insights, and IoT know-how to take your business to the next level.
For this special event we are delighted to include in our distinguished lineup of speakers, Sam Ransbotham associate professor of Information Systems at the Carroll School of Management at Boston College. Sam is also a guest editor for the MIT Sloan Management Review for the Data and Analytics Big Idea Initiative and his most recent IoT insights have been enthusiastically received by the IoT community. Sam will give the keynote presentation at the event.
As they say..."if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!"
