Bio:Jeff is passionate about connected devices. Before joining Glow Labs, Jeff was the lead project manager and programmer for luxury home automation systems that were installed across North America. At Glow Labs, he uses his strong technical knowledge and communication skills to help clients select the best technologies to develop their IoT products.

Subject: Wireless IoT Protocols.There are dozens of competing wireless protocols to get IoT devices online. The three most important factors for selecting a protocol are range, power draw, and adoption rate in your target market. Jeff will go through all of the major wireless IoT protocols and break down the strengths and weaknesses of each one.

Topic:I would talk about the inception of IoT, and why is it NOT just the Hyped up tech which will soon fade out. I will also talk about connectivity protocols in IoT and weigh them against each other. In the end of the talk I would love to discuss the future of IoT and security concerns.

Bio: Sasi Movva is the founder and CEO of Goally(www.goally.co). He has over 20 years of technology development and leadership experience in developing software for various things ranging from websites to mobile chipsets.

Abstract for my talk - Platforms beat products every time, but most IoT solutions are products that are easy to replicate and hard to maintain a competitive advantage with. Sasi will be using case studies to talk about different types of IoT platforms and provide a framework that entrepreneurs and engineers can use to think about how to build platforms for their next IOT Startup.
