Second only to artificial intelligence, the internet of things (IoT) is the most discussed and philosophized technology. Discussed, philosophized, pondered, prophesized, popularized, or promoted, the IoT is here and soon will be an assumed feature of every aspect of life. But consumers, businesses, and organizations are having a bit of trouble getting off the ground with the IoT; they don’t know where to start.
With something as all-encompassing and in many ways daunting in its complexity, there are several valid concerns. Security and privacy are at the top of the list.
Probably the best way to get over the initial hurdles of IoT applications is to hear from the experts who have been involved with the IoT since day one. At Sensors Expo 2018 in San Jose, one will have plenty of opportunities in this area via Pre-Conference Symposium 3: Democratizing IoT - Connecting Technology with People, Tuesday, June 26, 2018, starting at 9:00 am and running until 5:00 PM.
This symposium explores how a new wave of IoT solutions can help developers who are building this future. Guest speakers from industry leaders and startups will discuss how they are overcoming complex technology challenges to deliver compelling development platforms before exploring some examples of a smarter future. Speakers include:
