Peer to Peer discussions on: The Internet of Things (IoT)

Overview

MediaBUZZ’s next event of the 8byEIGHT series is focusing on the networked society - where knowledge, business, technology, services, creativity and social issues increasingly merge.


The exclusive event will again welcome 64 (8byEight) hand-selected top executives for the gathering to talk about the future opportunities and challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT).


Since IoT and Big Data are technology driven, applied by hard- and software developers, there are plenty of topics to consider for conversations and discussions.


Fact is that with IoT on one hand and Big Data on the other, real human problems can be solved, instead of simply marketing new gadgets and services.

As technology continues to evolve and grow, the shift toward advanced wireless communications and M2M connectivity will clearly drive significant and exciting changes for component manufacturers and design engineers who understand the ever-changing IoT landscape and its immense impact on how we work, how we play, and how we live in today’s highly connected world.


Only recently the term moved onto the radar of industry influencers and visionaries, because of the proliferation of mobile devices, advanced embedded technologies, and the adoption of cloud computing. Today it refers to the connectivity of everyday objects that can be recognized, located and/or controlled via the internet.


For both consumers and businesses, IoT presents many new opportunities for innovations that leverage real-time data and data-sharing. With access to relevant data via everyday devices connected to the internet, people will be able to make better decisions based on health and fitness monitoring, more efficient transportation routes, remote medical diagnostics and tracking of agriculture or food products.


It is of no surprise then that industry analysts are estimating a potential market size of 26 billion installed units by 2020 and a total of 50 billion devices by 2050 operating worldwide connected to the Internet.

AGENDA


The Internet of Things (IoT) is a comprehensive and zeitgeisty topic that can be tackled best by sharing thoughts, concerns and insights with peers and like-minded experts, according to the motto: "NEVER STOP LEARNING!"
