Innovators, platform developers and telecoms mashup at IoT Connect 14

Martin Creighan, Managing Director of AT&T Australia & New Zealand will be discussing how home security and automation can be achieved at your fingertips.

Connected Cars – the mobility device that will help shape safer and smarter drivers will be explored by Henry Bzeih, Head of Connected Car, CTO, Kia Motors.

Melanie Nutter, Director of Environment at City and County of San Francisco will be sharing the US’ experience in creating a smarter city – the challenges and advantages associated with smart cities and public reception.

Event Director, Jonny Peters from Informa stresses that IoT is already and will continue to affect all aspects of our lives and that "the cost savings and efficiencies to be gained from the Internet of Things (IoT) cannot be underestimated.
