In addition to John Chamber's Keynote, the IoTWF promises to have a packed schedule with the overriding focus being the dramatic transformations now gaining momentum across every global sector and creating a new world of opportunities made possible by the Internet of Things. With 13 keynotes, more than 28 breakout sessions, four customer deployment case studies and over 35 hours of networking opportunities and four customer deployment case studies, the IoTWF will be the perfect platform for over 1500 industry leaders in the public sector, private business and education from around the world to collaborate, network, partner and share the latest developments and emerging applications of global IoT strategies and deployments.
The Forum will be a showcase of opportunity where industry leaders will share innovations, key breakthroughs in technology since the event last took place, discuss opportunities and challenges ahead of us. With a strong list of globally respected IoT experts sharing the latest developments and emerging applications, the range of topics during the keynote sessions will include:
