Why You Should Attend

I have been involved with M2M for nearly a decade, while I have participated in many conferences and events that currently exist, none have been as rewarding as the M2M Evolution Conference. The content covers all aspects of technology and business challenges that exist when deploying connected applications. If I.T. departments are new to M2M, the education from this show can save valuable time and money that may be spent during a project. There is no opportunity better for CIOs and CTOs to send their team members to a technical conference that covers all aspects of M2M and Cloud applications than this conference.

Machine to machine communication is not a singular market, it's a market of markets and its growing exponentially! From the connected car to m-Health, the smart grid to connected home automation and security solutions, each individual application area has unique needs and requirements.

And after years of unfulfilled promises M2M has finally moved from being a hyped topic that will happen tomorrow to something that is impacting our daily lives. At M2M Evolution, I’m looking forward to bringing together thought leaders from disparate organizations to explore what can happen when you combine hardware, software, and high speed wireless connectivity to solve today’s business and social problems.
