"As each day passes, consumers are introducing more connected devices into their lives.

Our summit provides the opportunity for attendees not only learn about the current state of IoT, but to contribute to the discussion surrounding the future of this rapidly changing technology."
The City of Chicago has transformed into an incubator for the technology world and will continue to be a key player in the next evolution of IoT and other technologies. The Exploring the Internet of Things Summit is a daylong event consisting of moderated panel discussions with some of Chicago's top technology influencers.
Built into the event schedule is a networking reception to enable summit guests to connect with key technology leaders, c-level executives, heads of development and decision makers to further the discussion on the IoT. Attendees will also have opportunity to see IoT in action, with interactive exhibits from workplace health company and wearable device maker .
