About the workshop
Radical changes in the way we interact with things are happening right now. Intelligent, connected devices offer almost real-time information, but to become the foundation for more accurate predictions and recommendations, we need to interconnect billions of devices and integrate data streams from multiple sectors and geographies.
The second WeM2M workshop will bring together leading academics, software developers, innovators, opportunity creators and public authorities to share ideas, opportunities and solutions to make possible the evolution from simple connectivity (M2M) to the real internet of things (IoT).
