2- Delivering a family of connected devices at scale.
3- Securing and managing lots of devices from multiple vendors.

We are fortunate to have a panel that brings first hand experience and insightful analysis. Panelists in this event include (formal bios below):

- Andy Do runs Embedded Works, a systems integrator and professional services firm with deep technical expertise and a full spectrum of wireless products and services. He and his team have been intimately involved with many IoT projects so he has an excellent perspective re what works and what doesn’t and where the challenges are.

- Ben Gibbs leads the Afero Customer Enablement (ACE) team, working with customers around the world to help ensure their success. Ben’s team has hands-on experience from project inception to post-launch technical support. We look forward to his 360 perspective.

- Dan Maier is VP of marketing at Zingbox, which just agreed to be acquired by Palo Alto Networks. He brings us an enterprise and healthcare view of how lots of different IoT devices can be detected and secured, how AI can help, and how the data gathered in the process can help manage devices from an IT-OT convergence standpoint.

If you have any questions for panelists, pls submit them before the event so we can sort through them and make sure we ask all the hard questions!
