Session Abstract: All of us need “Somebody willing to ride the ruts at double-speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds, and yet stop in mid-field and race to help upon seeing the first smoke of fire from a neighbor’s place… so God made a farmer” (Paul Harvey, 1986). And, farmers and growers need new technologies to keep pace with food demand, minimize environmental impact, and better enjoy the fruits of their labor. Join Dr. Tom Bradicich as he discussed how IoT and AI are helping to better grow, harvest, and distribute the foods we eat. Hear... Read More

Abstract: As the world transforms to digital, companies try to stay relevant while balancing demands for sustainability and social responsibility. Effective, efficient, and secure operations are critical. To achieve the agility needed to succeed in an increasingly connected world, many organizations are turning to IoT to extend processing boundaries, allow for autonomous interactions, and power decisions with more data. The ability to trust the identity of IoT devices is crucial. If a device is compromised or impersonated, decisions made on associated data can’t be trusted; results can be catastrophic. Certificates and keys are options, but can be complex to manage and... Read More

Session Abstract: Bad air is dangerous for everyone — and it is the smallest particles that pose the biggest risk to indoor spaces. Airborne diseases like influenza and COVID-19 latch onto these ultrafine particles which can penetrate the lungs and bloodstream more easily. As air quality worsens, the chances of airborne transmission rise. Until recently office managers were not equipped with the correct tools and information to protect from bad air. Today they face a proliferation of air quality technologies. The bad news is that these readings and the devices they pull environmental data from are often unreliable and variable.... Read More
