IoT event brings together experts and start-ups

The Everything IoT Global Leadership Summit 2016 will share and showcase domain knowledge, identify latest IoT trends and offer expertise from IoT leaders.

Presentations will cover a range of topics, such as the role that IoT may have to solve some of the world’s most pressing environmental issues, how information gained from the tracking of animals provides insight into building an IoT framework for billions of people and how IoT is testing the limits of programmable computing.

International speakers will include Genevieve Bell, a senior executive and anthropologist based at Intel Corporation USA, Matthew Bailey, an IoT pioneer, and Jason Jameson, from IBM Watson IoT.

In addition, there will be presentations from local speakers such as Victor Dominello, NSW Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation, Jill Slay, Australian Centre for Cyber Security at UNSW Canberra, and Andrea Beattie from the City of Sydney.

There will also be two IoT competitions being held during the day. Eleven start-ups will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges for the chance to participate in an IoT event in Israel in November, while three finalists will present their ideas for hacking a pressing societal problem in the HackLab event.

This year’s summit is being held in Sydney on Monday, 17 October at Australian Technology Park.
