Talk & Networking: Innovation in the age of the Internet of Things, a real-world perspective
05 February 2019, 5:00 pm–8:00 pm
2019 marks two decades since the British technologist Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things (IoT) during a presentation at Procter & Gamble. For some, 2019 will be the year of the Smart Home. For others, it will be the dawn of the Industrial Internet of Things. For us at UCL, it will be the fourth year since we launched our successful Masters course on the Internet of Things. The evening will start with a series of talks from our guest speakers, who are experts in their fields and have "actually been there and done that". They will debunk facts from fiction surrounding this hot topic and give real-world examples of IoT applications spanning multiple system layers. The talks will be followed by networking to discuss and debate thought-provoking issues around this topic.
This event is free.
