Presentation Abstract
The Internet of Things means many different things to different people. What is key about the IoT is there is a distinct food chain that runs from the silicon devices to the services and then back. The level of success you will have in the IoT is heavily dependent upon where you fit in the food chain, and if you have the capability to move up the chain or across the chain into different verticals. In this presentation we will explore the food chain, what is important and what steps need to be taken to succeed in the world of the IoT.
