Technology State House Day 2015
The Internet of Things in Massachusetts
Tuesday May 12, 2015
10-00am-1:00pm
Hall of Flags, Massachusetts State House

The Tech Hub Caucus, co-chaired by Senator Spilka and Representative Ferrante, will host the 3rd Technology State House Day on the subject of "Internet of Things in Massachusetts". Meet leaders from the local tech and startup community and learn about Massachusetts-based companies leading the Internet of Things (IoT) technology revolution.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to technology that enables devices and applications ("things") to communicate seamlessly with one another to become part of a connected whole that transfers data through the cloud and transforms it into useful information for people, business and institutions. Examples of IoT in Massachusetts are biometric wearables for healthcare, smart traffic lights for cities, and connected thermostats for energy.

The event will feature live technology demonstrations running throughout from local tech firms and home-grown startups showcasing innovative IoT technologies and devices changing the way we live and work. During the second half of the event, "Table Talk" breakouts will be led by tech companies and key legislators to focus on specific IoT applications relevant in MA today.
