This event is co-organized with DRVR.co (http://drvr.co/), an IoT startup based in Bangkok, and Telenor Connexion (http://www.telenor.com/innovation/internet-of-things/), the IoT division of Telenor.
'Internet of Things'. What is it? And what is it not? How big is the industry in Asia? Who are the main players? What is the role of Telematics in Asia? What is Telenor / Dtac involvement in IoT? And what is DRVR doing?
To answer all these questions and more, we have invited 4 IoT experts. They will first give their own introduction to the topic and will then sit down for a panel session to discuss IoT further and take questions from the audience.
- IoT beacon demonstration and lucky draw (see below).
