Connecting via Industry Events
The IIC’s Global Event Series continues to offer world-class knowledge learning opportunities and
are often aligned with vertical industries, featuring speakers from around the globe. A Building
Intelligent Infrastructures Forum hosted by SAS on February 15, 2019 at their Executive Briefing
Center in Cary, NC showcased Intelligent Transport Systems and Smart Cities, with experts and
thought leaders from SAS, Cisco, RIoT, Building Clarity, TCS, LHP Engineering Solutions, RTI, Volvo
Trucks, NetApp, Itron and the Town of Cary, NC. Presentations and videos from this event may
be viewed here. The next Global Event Series will be hosted in Cork, Ireland on May 23, 2019.
In addition to the Global Event Series, IIC members can be found at other participating events
such as Hannover Messe, the Intelligent Transport Systems Forum at IoT World Santa Clara and
IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona.

The IIC collaborates with global standards development organizations, technology and industry-
focused consortia, open source communities, regional organizations and government agencies
in a variety of ways including:
Technical exchange such as harmonization of IIoT architectures and exchange of use
cases, best practices, results, technical reports and frameworks
Joint marketing activities
Joint workshops
Joint publications
Since the last Journal of Innovation publication, IIC has added a number of new Liaison Members,
bringing the total to well over 40 liaisons.
The International Data Spaces Association will collaborate with the IIC to improve
trustworthiness of IIoT data
Linaro, an Open-source community with an important role in IIoT market growth will
work with IIC to promote the digital economy and preventing industry fragmentation
GlobalPlatform will work with the IIC to align efforts to maximize interoperability,
portability, security and privacy for the industrial Internet.
The Wi-SUN Alliance, a global association driving the propagation of interoperable
wireless solutions for use in smart cities and smart utilities will work with the IIC to
maximize interoperability, portability, security and privacy for the industrial Internet.
A formal relationship with the OPC Foundation is a natural fit for the IIC as the OPC
