This week I am the Track Chair for the “IoT in Enterprise” track (Thursday, November 30, 2017) at the IoT Tech Expo Conference North America at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Quoting from the track description in the conference program: “The Industrial Internet of Things or Industry 4.0 heralds an era of unlimited potential to change across the enterprise landscape. Will this become the age of ultimate industrial automation? What efficiencies and new opportunities can be realised as a result? How can the complexities be understood and challenges overcome? In this session we take a close look at some of the main sectors of enterprise who are embracing IoT within their workflows, from tracking of freight and fleets using asset management with case studies from the worlds leading Logistics companies to discussing how IoT can impact Agriculture. How Oil, Gas and Energy companies are getting involved in the IoT is also being highlights right from oil fields through to facilities management in the latest smart buildings. This track is suited to attendees who wish to hear from high-level speakers about how the world’s biggest and most forward thinking enterprises are utilising IoT within their businesses.”

To open up the day I will welcome everyone to the conference and the track and give some opening remarks that will include excerpts from Evans Data IoT Vertical Research Service.

I will also moderate two panels during the day as well as introducing the presenters and their sessions.
