Headline Opening Keynote: IoT and Your Food
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

Decentralized Identity for the Internet of Things
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

Bad Air Is A Technology Problem
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

Are smart grids the flying cars of the Energy industry?
Session Abstract: Technologists have promised us flying cars for well over 100 years. We will be waiting a lot longer before they are in common use. We started hearing about smart grids in the 1970s, and while there is an abundance of technology, and some progress has been made, we are far from the point where smart grids will enable the most important result: decarbonization through effective implementation of renewable energy resources. This application will challenge both consumer and Industrial IoT. Such a feat requires massive scale, and broad investment in the deployment of distributed energy resources including smart loads,...
