The Power of an Event
In my previous gig, I was the editor of a publication that covered the event marketing industry and in my more than five years immersed in the world of marketing, events and tradeshows every single bit of research and reporting I did on the subject pointed toward one truth: the power of an event is […]
Why Should I come? A Free Association In IoT
A friend was asking me why people should go to IoT Evolution Expo in Las Vegas, August 17-20 instead of his favorite association show. It’s a fair question, and in many industries the associations are fantastic at projecting the values of the industry and protecting their members from regulatory harm. When it comes to IoT, […]

It’s Time to Evolve to the IoT, and You’d Better Come Along
The IoT has been developing in the shadows and growing toward the light for years now (and I’m sure we could all have quite a fun argument about how many years), but it’s time to grow up. The IoT needs to come out of its infancy and become an adult. It needs to evolve from […]
Are you secure? Is your IoT solution safe?
Probably not. Look, security is one of many huge issues under discussion in the industry. The difference is that this one has the potential to make the whole thing untenable. There haven’t been any major breaches yet, but the state of the security standards (or lack thereof) is such that it’s only a matter of […]
