We have an opportunity to evolve beyond the buzzwords, acronyms, and hype that new technologies like IoT often promise. However, we must move beyond simply connecting things. Technology alone does not solve problems.

Key topics will include:

Customer-centric outcomes and IoT applications

Rewards & challenges of an IoT startup

Q&A with a digital entrepreneur
