IoT Expo

About the Event

About IoT Expo™ 2014 San Francisco is May 5–6, at San Francisco’s Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf, with additional dates in London and New York this year. We will cover all of the greatest IoT-related IT opportunities, from the connected home, smart meters, the connected car, and smart grid to personal wellness and connected health.By 2020 it is expected that 5 billion people will use the Web. By then there will be 10x that number of connected ”things” – probably more.The so-called Internet of Things will be called upon to connect not just 5 billion people, but also 50 billion things, from sensors to milk cartons, with trillions of connections between them. These things, like the people, will be always-on, always-connected, and always trying to communicate.In the brave new world that has since 1999 been called the Internet of Things or IoT, there are already millions of embedded electronic measuring devices connected: thermostats, pressure gauges, pollution detectors, cameras, microphones, glucose sensors, EKGs, electroencephalographs. They probe and monitor everything from cities to endangered species. There are sensors monitoring the atmosphere, our ships, highways and fleets of trucks, our conversations (thank you, NSA!), and even – in a movement called the Quantified Self (QS) – our bodies. IoT Expo™ 2014 will cover all of the greatest IoT-related IT opportunities, from the connected home, smart meters, the connected car, and smart grid to personal wellness and connected health. Speakers are all industry experts from the world’s leading proponents of the IoT: from giants like Cisco, Intel, GE, IBM, ARM and Huawei to the smaller, but growing players like Atmel, ThingWorx, Kaazing, Neul and Libelium.
