This portion of the program is meant for a general audience consisting of industry, the public sector, the research community, practitioners, and end-users of IoT. The presentations will address the practical aspects of IoT implementation and experiences from real-life applications or actual deployments. The emphasis is on accelerating the adoption and penetration of IoT solutions, lessons learned from deployments and end-to-solutions, and delivering value to society.
Most of the Vertical and Topical Tracks will be held as virtual online sessions conducted during a two-week period July 12th-24th, 2021, but we will hold a limited number of Vertical and Topical Track sessions in-person in New Orleans, Louisiana, June 20-24, 2021.
