The Internet of Things discours is riddled with grand visions and utopian promises on the one hand, and critical perspectives, stories of failure and dystopian visions on the other. In this Salon we want to take a deep dive into the near and far future of IoT, research different roadmaps and explore the actions needed to further them. We want to provide inspiration to current practitioners, and give them actionable ammunition in their practice of making the best IoT.
The Salon will include a workshop, followed by presentations/drinks.
You are invited to take part in a workshop to discuss future thinking to new developments in NB-IoT infrastructure, and more in general the shift towards ubiquitous low power IoT networks coming true.
What are the best models for network providers to stimulate human centered IoT product development? Who are the different players and what are their roles in the ecosystem of connected products? What role do intermediaries play? The results of this workshop will be shared in the evening program.
Please RSVP for the event here!
Interested in learning more about roadmaps and ways to get there? Join us for a series of presentations, networking and drinks. Free pizza is part of the deal.
