IoT Belfast Meetup 3

Please join us for drinks and networking as we listen to 3…sorry 4 speakers, who are making the internet of things a reality in Northern Ireland.

This month is a little different, we are kindly being hosted by our friends over at the Belfast Met who are co-promoting the event. Don’t worry, it will be the same format of quick fire presentations followed by Q&A and networking/mingling, with refreshments provided.
