Community. Collaboration. Convergence. Regardless of the hemisphere you call “home,” it’s pretty great when things come together. “The biggest asset of IIC is the people. Many good people with a wide range of skill sets are contributing to the ecosystem. There is no other forum in the IoT industry that you can have in-depth strategic discussions, practical implementation (through testbeds), and the latest technical trends all addressed in one place. Best of all, the discussions are geared towards finding tangible solutions for real world's problems. The more you participate, the more you learn. It allows you to make decisions that are actionable. You’re creating success for yourself, your company and your customers.” – Dr. Mitch Tseng, Huawei Technologies September 2018 - 140 -
