The Internet of Things (IoT), TiE Seattle

When: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 – 5:30pm – 8:30pm

Where: WeWork South Lake Union, 500 Yale Avenue North, Seattle

What: The Internet of Things (IoT) envisions the interconnection of billions of everyday physical objects, embedded with sensors and actuators, over wired and wireless networks and often over IP. These objects provide data in real-time to perform complex analysis and respond quickly, sometimes without any human intervention. The convergence of many factors – ubiquitous connectivity, big data analytics, and embedding of computing into everything is heralding this IoT era.

The implications of IoT will be profound and far-reaching, affecting our lives, businesses, processes, infrastructure, and industries. While the widespread adoption of IoT will take time, now is the time for entrepreneurs, investors, and industry executives to start understanding the implications of IoT and to start exploring opportunities that will continue to emerge in this new era.
As a premier community of entrepreneurs, industry executives, and investors in the Greater Seattle area, TiE Seattle is proud to organize two panels comprising of industry experts and entrepreneurs who are innovating in this space:
