Bengaluru to host conclave on Internet of Things

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) India's Internet of Things (IoT) panel on Friday announced to organise a three-day IoT conclave in Bengaluru from September 6-8.

J.S. Deepak, secretary, department of telecommunications, unveiled the website and brochure of the "IoT India Congress 2016" in the capital.

A panel discussion titled "Collaboration is a mantra for IoT success in India" was organised as a precursor to the IoT conclave featuring senior leaders from the industry.

"India is on the threshold of innovation and technology. It is an exciting time for all businesses, and we at the IET IoT Panel understand the need to spread awareness and increase participation from the stakeholders in the IoT value chain," said Rishi Bhatnagar, chairman of the IET IoT panel.

The "IoT India Congress 2016" has been conceptualised and designed by the members of the IET's IoT Panel -- an independent and neutral visionary think-tank led by select industry leaders.

The panel envisions laying a solid foundation by supporting policymakers and industry in the next step of adoption of IoT.

The "IoT India Congress 2016" will be supported by the ministry of communications and information technology's department of telecommunications.
