IoT Vertical and Topical Summit for Agriculture
08-09 May 2018 – Tuscany, Italy

Program

One of the hallmarks of the IEEE IoT Summits is to convene meetings that are built around a subject relevant to specific locations, in this case Tuscany. We further try to gather attendees and speakers who range from practitioners, to suppliers, to technical and domain experts, and to foster an exchange among stakeholders who would otherwise rarely get together. We hope that you can join us for the two days of the Summit and be a part of this important dialog. You will find the schedule and list of speakers below.

The conclusion for the Summit is a Round Table Working Group session, with speaker and audience participation. The purpose of the session is to capture actions that the IEEE can take in cooperation with the Agricultural Community and its suppliers to speed the adoption of IoT and to capture the benefits for all.

After the Summit we will hold a Wine Tasting Reception at the Borgo San Luigi – an event not to be missed – this includes all the hospitality and specialties of Tuscany!
