15th-16th November 2016, Doubletree by Hilton Tower Bridge London Addressing the technical challenges for enterprises deploying IoT solutions 20+ expert speakers Including Hive, ING, Stanley Black & Decker and Specsavers Extensive IoT technology case studies Live cyber threat demonstration
IoTBuild Why now? Enterprise network architects, builders, developers and technology professionals will play a pivotal role in driving IoT innovation and business adoption in 2016 and beyond. However, there are huge challenges ahead. There is a growing requirement to connect the disparate parts of a distributed IoT business solution from mobile devices, to wearables and sensors, to cloud and on premise legacy enterprise systems. Together with security and privacy concerns, a lack of standards and the overwhelming volume of IoT platforms, it can be a real challenge to make the right technology choices for the enterprise. IoTBuild provides a unique opportunity to join technology leaders, innovators and peers to tackle the challenges of technology selection and building the Internet of Things. If you are moving from thinking about IoT to deploying IoT networks then this is an event not to be missed.

The UK government claims to be forthright in its promotion of the Internet of Things, and local IoT start-ups coming out of the country. But could the Conservative government be doing more, and what does the future of IoT hold? Chi Onwurah, Shadow Minister for Culture and the Digital Economy is also a distinguished engineer so she is in a unique position to give her perspective in this keynote presentation Chi Onwurah, Shadow Minister for Industrial Strategy, Science and Innovation 9:45-10:15 IoT Futures Machine learning and software learning With data being the new oil, how will future advances in machine learning and software automation impact the IoT within the enterprise? What plans should organisations make now to ensure they are well positioned to benefit from future advances? In this closing keynote we examine how this rapidly evolving area will bring a new wave of change to enterprise IoT. Rana Ghosh-Roy, Head of Cognitive and Analytic Practice, IBM 10:15-10:45 IoT interoperability: The holy grail for IoT Building systems that talk to each other is pivotal to the success of IoT Projects. But IoT is fragmented and currently lacks interoperability. This session will explore the requirements for a connected, interoperable environment to enable an enterprise that is IoT ready. - The basic building blocks for IoT interoperability - What approaches can be taken to meet the challenge of enabling IoT interoperability? - What efforts are being made in key standards development organisations to support interoperability Adam Leach, Head of R&D, Nominet Oxford Flood Project 10:45-11:15 IoT Value Chain - Selecting the right components IoT is not a standard and it is all about connecting things and getting insight of it and making intelligent decisions accordingly. Hence it is not a standard, there are many organisations that have come out with their own protocols and physical layer that covers from sensors to networks. - What does it involve in creating end to end IoT applications? - What kind of edge devices that are to be used? - What kind of wide area network that works for a particular application? - What kind of platform that can help building these applications? Jeevarathinam Ravikumar, Digital Innovation Leader, Stanley Security Europe 11:15-11:45 Networking refreshment break amd one-to-one meetings 11:45-12:15 It s not all about the technology: Is your organisation ready? Adopting IoT is not only about technology choices. A key success factor in its deployment will be having an organisation ready, focused and organised for change. Hear from a global leader about some of the innovation challenges that need to be addressed when seeking and implementing technology disruption opportunities in the enterprise and the need to adopt a nimble innovation model. Richard Browning, Trader & Innovation Advocate, BP
12:15-13:00 IoT Platform Play: Open discussion with IoT platform builders Despite IoT Platforms still being in their infancy, recent research suggests there are now more than 260 IoT Platforms.

Hear from our IoT platform experts and get your questions answered This session will: - Offer you an unrivalled opportunity to hear from IoT Platform experts - Help you shape your platform decision making to align your platform choice with your organisation s IoT Strategy - What scale and performance factors need to be considered when thinking about connecting huge numbers of products? - Give you the opportunity to ask questions directly to the people responsible for building the IoT Platform of the future - Accelerate your decision making for platform choice. Panel chaired by Alasdair Allan, Scientist, Author, Hacker, Maker, and Journalist. Panelists: Alfred Biehler, Cloud Managing Partner, Google David Bodenstein, Managing Director, Red Gear Solutions Amar Parmar, Head of IoT Design Center, Wind River Grant Peters, World Wide IoT Lead Architect, Microsoft Azure 13:00-14:00 Networking lunch and one-to-one meetings 14:00-15:00 INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP - The World of Things and Not Things in IoT With so many connected devices, how will businesses create a place where things can share data, where data can be mashed with data from others things, where anything can be related and made into useful decision making data? How will it be stored, managed and secured? Sensors, devices, remote equipment and even dumb things can share their data with each other and can be shared or exchanged, creating new relationships, insights and whole new ways to interact. We look at innovative, realistic ways that this can be done and possibilities for driving business change without leaving broken useless pieces of the Internet of Things behind.

Even if you can predict failures, dynamic technician scheduling associated with equipment maintenance management requires insight into real-time held inventory, technician location and estimated service completion time. - IoT enabled intelligent fleet/asset management - Steps to create a data platform for real-time information flow - Squeezing the asset identifying new opportunities from existing data flow - Challenges to implementing IoT enabled predictive maintenance - Information visualisation, layered architecture for Sensing, Communication, Service and Infrastructure Kalman Tiboldi, Chief Business Innovation Officer, TVH Group
12:30-13:00 Harden the IoT: Strengthening your IoT design The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is focused on improving the security of software. Its key mission is to make software security visible, so that individuals and organisations worldwide can make informed decisions about true software security risks. The most well known, mature and flagship project is The OWASP Top 10 Most Critical Web Application Security Risks which has made its way into many of the major security frameworks in use today. This presentation and demonstration will take a look at a number of Flagship, Lab & Incubator Open Source Projects which can provide real benefits to security professionals, developers and enterprises. Adrian Winkles, OWASP Cambridge 13:00-14:00 Networking lunch 14:00-14:45 Bluetooth beacon applications and real world developer issues 2014 was the year when many organizations ran initial pilot projects and 2015 was the year of large beacon deployments.
