M2M-02
The Analysts will tell you the numbers are not the important question the market is huge and still growing. The panel looks at the big picture of trends, opportunities and challenges in delivering M2M. What’s happening, who’s making it happen, and what’s next… a forum of experts will set the stage for this event.

  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Retail POS
M2M-03
The Point of Sale is the place where inventory changes to revenue, yet often it is the place where this exchange gets lost as a tool to manage the supply chain. M2M applications are transforming the way merchants do business. From taxi cabs to storefronts to kiosks, companies are increasingly seeing the value of connectivity at the point of sale. But a successful POS deployment requires more than a reliable connection. Privacy, security, compliance, and redundancy are all necessary components. And with Self Service coming of age, what can be done with POS to make the experience optimal for the customer and the company?
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
How Low To Go? (Low Data Rate)
M2M-04
All you hear about in today’s M2M world is about 4G and LTE. But what about applications that don’t need low latency or high thruput? We’ll examine those applications and a host of solutions that can get the job done.
1:45-2:30pm
Tuesday - 08/27/2013
  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Digital Signage
M2M-05
Big Screens and big dreams, advertising is catching the eye with digital signs in ways you would not expect. The systems are being designed to target the customer sometimes with an awareness of their needs. The indoor retailer and the out door billboard are different markets but they still get the message across.
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
Remote Monitoring and Control
M2M-06
The ability to remotely maintain and control assets, buildings and systems is transforming how we do business in the information age. Endpoints are getting smarter and smaller, and networks are getting more robust. The connected world will only become a reality when easy to use, easy to install solutions capture the data necessary to make actionable decisions remotely.
2:45-3:30pm
Tuesday - 08/27/2013
  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Retail - Vending, Kiosks and More
M2M-07
In the past, a vending machine was little more than a remote warehouse, selling inventory a couple cents at a time. But today, vending is big business. Two way communication from vending machines, kiosks and other end points optimizes revenue and the customer experience. From inventory management to marketing and transaction management to route optimization, M2M is changing the way people look at the retail experience.
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
M2M Managing Energy Solutions for Buildings
M2M-08
The Enterprise is often asked by power companies to curtail their use in a crisis, but in the past that meant sending people home and having a skeleton crew shut things down. Now the buildings are adding smarts to their buildings and managing the energy market dynamically to their own gain. When do M2M energy solutions pay for themselves?
3:45-4:30pm
Tuesday - 08/27/2013
  SPECIAL GENERAL SESSION
4G LTE Drive New Generation of M2M Applications
M2M-09
“If you build it they will come!” Is the statement used to deploy fiber now we are giving a fat pipe to M2M what kind of devices and data can capitalize on the solution. Does Video Surveillance add pixel density and video HD? Does big data pour streams of feedback thru the network? Do analytics become more distributed? What trends toward traffic do we see?

  SPECIAL GENERAL SESSION
One M2M
M2M-11
Describing the service plane seems simple enough, right? The carriers need to manage connectivity, hardware vendors need to build hardware and get it network ready and certified, developers and integrators need to make sure the software works, etc. However the range of data streams in M2M combined with the legacy of carrier interfaces points to a need for carriers to provide interoperability and systems that share information better and the level of certification complexity and SKU management of hardware is becoming mind boggling. Where is the One M2M initiative heading?

  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Using Device Data to Become the Ultimate Customer Company
M2M-14
Customers for life…everyone wants them. Building customer loyalty, eliminating customer churn, and creating “sticky services” are on the minds of every organization right now. The best customer centric organizations give their customers the opportunity to provide feedback at every moment, not just face to face or on the phone. This means collecting the right data and effective use of that data is of supreme importance. How do you use M2M to get seamless feedback built into the systems you’re using? This session will explore putting the right tools together platform, hardware, and analytics to secure customers for life.
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
Data Security and Privacy: A Holistic Approach
M2M-15
Security is a basic need, for businesses as well as for individuals. Some of the same elements that have given rise to the M2M industry boom have also enabled a variety of new security threats. Technology advancements and increased computing power, plus declining hardware costs and free software tools widely available on the Internet have contributed to an increased number of security risks.M2M security measures must be considered at the very beginning of development and only an integrated security approach, starting with system design, will be effective to safeguard M2M solutions and ensure their economical success.How can you harden your security, protect privacy and still see the big picture?

Beyond Traditional M2M to the Internet of Things
M2M-16
We have seen market adoption… now its time for market adaptation. What innovations are taking M2M to places we never expected? Are innovations coming about as a result of add ons to existing devices? Is the software and the hardware enabling a renassaince of solutions? What new business models will emerge? What new partnerships are being established? How are we moving from traditional M2M to an Internet Connected World of Everthing?

  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Connected Health and Wellness
M2M-17
Taking the pulse of M2M healthcare shows a strong heart beat of innovation. Lifestyle and life saving solutions are available today to provide everything from athletic analytics to remote patient monitoring. How are we seeing these solutions come to market? Who is leading our experience?
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
A Framework for "Plug and Play" Industrial M2M Cellular Solutions
M2M-18
Provisioning and configuring M2M solutions particularly in a multicarrier environment often feels like a study in Black Arts. However the industry has developed a model of interfacing that allows the integrator deploy without the carrier having to configure each individual element. Ideally the ability to batch configuration and auto discover the carrier should be available. What has the industry done to build a framework and is it being accepted by the carriers?
2:00-2:45pm
Wednesday - 08/28/2013
  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Digital Life: Security, Surveillance, Monitoring and Home Automation
M2M-19
If your home is your castle, can M2M be your moat? What tools and technologies are available to manage, protect and defend your home? And what tools and technologies are available to integrate all the electronic things in your home? How do these solutions involve M2M and do you need apps on your phone to manage it all?
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
Manage and Secure Your Mobile Enterprise: Delivering Visibility and Confidence
M2M-20
It’s more than just ingress / egress when it comes to this BYOD world of gadgets and phones. M2M economies of scale dwarf the MDM requirements of traditional handsets and laptops for the connectedenterprise. Enabling field operations is getting easier with smart devices, but having confidence that the information is secure is harder to achieve. What tools are there for not only the mobile enterprise to see that their data is safe? How do we secure and manage the billions of endpoints collecting data?

  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
Moving Beyond Connected Machines to a “Connected Marketplace”
M2M-23
Can a machine be social? Or at least give feedback to people looking at the information in a social network? With the information gathered can markets form around the information? Should anonymized data be shared to provide a connected market of information? Or should userauthorized and authenticated real time data? How will contextuality and relevance change the way the marketplace evolves?
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
Big Data – Unique Ways M2M is Enabling the Enterprise
M2M-24
The theorem “the Sum of the parts is greater than the whole” shows that getting down to the detail is a key ingredient for making the big decisions. Big Data can provide analytics of the work flow, aggregate and distribute and reference others sources to validate the findings. How are Enterprises managing the information of big data to yield big results?

  CONSUMER FOCUSED M2M SOLUTIONS
M2M$...Making Commerce Mobile: Strategy and Trends of Mobile Commerce
M2M-25
Can vending machines become carnival barkers and draw your attention based on sensing you? What role will handsets play? Are kiosks the new cash register? If M2M is able to deliver better context can systems deliver better opportunity? What makes compelling commerce work in M2M?
  M2M FOR THE ENTERPRISE
Ten Times the Value of M2M Fleet Data with Simple Back Office Integration
M2M-26
Lots of data; lots of descisions, but are companies optimizing based on the fleet feedback? If the back office intergration is not available this is just a broken opportunity and not a revenue producer. The way to ensure success is make the distribution of goods match the orders and supply chain. Who is leading us into better business intelligence?

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.

-Nikki Cuban is Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at OnAsset Intelligence & Marketing Chairperson for the M2M Evolution 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.
