Best IoT Conferences 2020
// Conferences
Remote control of a computer from a phone, automatic debit of funds from an account upon completion of a trip to Uber, banal connection of a smartphone and smart watches - all this is just a small list of the implementation of the Internet of things in our time. For several years of existence, it has changed the world very much.
But this is only the beginning. In fact, we still don’t know very much about the capabilities of IoT. Developers and architects are aware of the challenges of developing this technology. Marketers know where the user wants to see IoT today. Company executives are aware of new methods for its implementation.
They tell about all this only in two cases. The first is personal meetings and corporate meetings. The second is international conferences attended by thousands of people. By attending one of these events, you can find out how much the Internet of Things has changed our world today.
