We are on the verge of a massive shift where we our world moves from smartphones to smart everything. Through the emerging technology known as the Internet of Things (“IoT"), companies are infusing computing, connectivity, sensors and “smarts" into the everyday objects all around us—woven into the clothing that we wear, engineered into the appliances in our homes, installed within the cars that we drive, and embedded into the products that stock our shelves. Forecast to drive the economic impact of the World Wide Web—with a projected scale ten times that of mobile—the smart revolution will turn the inanimate objects that fill our lives into intelligent objects that make our lives better, our work easier, and our products more profitable.
In this eye-opening, thought-provoking session, innovation specialist Christina “CK" Kerley will illuminate how The Internet of Things empowers suppliers and distributors to re-imagine, retool and revitalize their portfolio of products into a cutting-edge collection of connected, smart solutions that ignite a new era for the promotional products industry.
