Memex Automation’s CEO David McPhail is attending, by invitation, the Internet of Things World Forum, October 14 – 16, 2014.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is opening up a world of real opportunities and rapidly transforming our communities, our cities and our daily lives. The second annual Internet of Things World Forum (IoTWF) in Chicago, October 14–16, 2014 marks a defining moment in the growth of the IoT.  It is an exclusive annual event that brings together the best and brightest thinkers, practitioners, and innovators from business, government, and academia to accelerate the market adoption of the Internet of Things.

At this year’s Internet of Things World Forum, the top thought leaders, implementers and creators across public sector, private business and education will gather again in one place at one time to collaborate, network, partner, and build the industry’s ecosystem together. The IoTWF is the one place where the entire IoT community can share the latest developments and emerging applications, all of which will be on display — here and now — onsite at the event in Chicago.

Attendees will walk away with an enhanced understanding of what they can do to advance the Internet of Things, new relationships with other, similarly-minded leaders, and strategies for maximizing its benefits—both for their organizations and the industry as a whole.
