RIoT going to DC for defense industry event as Internet of Things growth surges | WRAL TechWire
RALEIGH – Responding to what it says is popular demand, North Carolina’s Internet of Things connector and launchpad, RIoT, is hosting a deep-dive workshop on Monday to educate startups on how they can apply IoT enterprise solutions to the defense sector. It’s the latest event for the fast-growing users group that has thousands of members and a host of major corporate sponsors such as IBM.
A series of hour-long presentations will be shared with 100 attendees. Sessions will cover relevant areas such as transitioning IoT products to fit the DoD environment, cloud and data security, scalability, machine learning, energy savings and equipment optimization.
Fittingly, the event is being held at the center of the defense market—Tysons, Virginia. Minutes away from the CIA headquarters, the area is home to the offices of top government service firms including Booz Allen Hamilton, Palantir and M.C. Dean, Inc. (RIoT’s event partner).
