This week I’m at the inaugural Internet of Things World Forum, hosted by Cisco. To give you a sense of what was discussed in just one day, I thought I’d capture some of the more interesting tweets and stats. Below the tweets is a fun short video where I interviewed SAP’s Benjamin Wesson and with Cisco’s Monique Morrow!
