The conference programme comprises of over 60 sessions, including keynotes, case studies, panels and workshops, delivered by thought leaders and expert practitioners from across enterprise, public sector, service provision, academia and vendors.  With digital transformation at the programme’s core, topics will cover the full range of IoT infrastructure and data analytics, as well as applications in industry, smart cities, healthcare, buildings and education.
