The Internet of Things (IoT) economy is growing rapidly and we are excited to hold our 19th RIoT to discuss how to capture this opportunity in Charleston and the greater commercial and military space. We reached out to global leaders in the IoT and DoD space to share their expertise.

This one day workshop is designed to educate participants about the latest advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) technology stack coming from industry and academia. Military guests will introduce the challenges in front of them as IoT transforms their operations. Relationships built can be a launch pad to new project collaboration.
