Morning Coffee Discussion: IoT Enabled Digital Transformation
9:30 – Tony Shakib, GM/Partner, Microsoft Azure IoT
Session I: IoT Makes Schools and Workplaces Safer
10:00, Panel Discussion
Changes to workplaces brought by the pandemic are about more than just smart whiteboards and video conferencing. The IoT is allowing for managers and teachers to provide autonomy without sacrificing accountability, improving the well-being of workers and students and distributing resources more efficiently. Technologies like biometrics, voice enabled interfaces, and remote sensors will make it possible, based on concepts of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), among other things.
Moderator: Robin Duke Woolley, Founder & CEO, Beecham Research
Panelists:
- Sara Brown, Vice President of Marketing, MultiTech
- Shannon Duvendack, Partner, IoT Launch
- Ghazaleh Jahromi, Sales & Partnerships Mgr, Pod Group
- Dennis Kish, COO, Taoglas
Session II: The “IoT Edge” in Health/Wellness
11:00, Panel Discussion
In the health & wellness sector – where IoT technology investment is expected to double by 2025 – wearables were in some ways the leading light in health/wellness application. Thanks in part to edge compute technology, wearables are now being surpassed by implantables and ingestibles. IoT infrastructure has already revolutionized how care is provided to sufferers of diabetes, asthma, and heart ailments. Expect new applications in predictive healthcare and medications management to come soon with the pandemic as an accelerator.
Moderator: Anne Hoyer, Founder, GSH Tech Agent
Panelists:
- Scott Ellis, VP Connectivity, Telit
- Bryan Lubel, EVP, Connected Health, KORE
- Scott Schwalbe, CEO/CO-Founder, NimbeLink
- Jonathan Weiss, VP Emerging Technologies, Software AG
Session III: V2X is the Future of Connected Automotive
12:00, Panel Discussion
Cars are already talking to various grids but expect them to begin communicating with other cars and even pedestrians in the very near future. Driver assistance systems and predictive maintenance, which alerts owners to problems, reduces costs, and maximizes uptime, have been driving forces, but 5G bandwidth and latency will offer a whole new world of possibilities. Issues like security and “over-the-air” (OTA) provisioning will be paramount.
Moderator: Matt Hatton, Founding Partner, Transforma Insights
Panelists:
- Syed Zaeem Hosain, CTO, Aeris
- Stefania Sesia Global Head of Application Marketing – Automotive, u-blox
- Nathan Wade, Regional Sales Manager – Public Sector, Digi International

Session IV: Low Power Wide Area IoT Technology Advantages – Catching the Wave
13:00, Panel Discussion
In 2021 we will see the explosion of LPWA network IoT devices in the public networks. The new devices will enable lower costs data plans and exceptional batter life which can create a great number of new applications in the IoT Enabled Marketplace. Asset Tracking, Wearables, Telematics, Agriculture and Supply Chain. This session will allow you to better understand the powerful ecosystem that is built to support developer and innovator needs as they catch the wave of LPWAN IoT.
