Join Diego Ventura, CEO of noHold, at the Peggy Smedley Institute this September

Dear friends, I would like to let you know about an upcoming conference you might be interested in attending. The Peggy Smedley Institute—where Leaders Learn IoT—creates a forum for an industrywide discussion about the IoT and how it can create value for your business. As a participant in this event, I invite you to join me and other fellow IoT experts from CyberTECH, Berkeley Varitronics Systems, Inc., CyberSN, Cisco Systems, Renesas Electronics America Inc., MultiTech Systems, Exosite, Buddy, and ServiceMax to name a few on Friday, September 9 at the San Diego Marriott Del Mar. I will be speaking from 12:45 p.m. – 1:05 p.m. about Connecting the Internet of Things to the Human Element. There is no doubt that IoT will dramatically change our lives, but Artifcial Intelligence (AI), specifically Virtual Assistants, will help us experience it in ways we almost never dreamed possible. Attendees will discover how Virtual Assistants connect to the IoT, in addition to, how humans can benefit from this transforming paradigm. This full day of education, networking, and sharing is for top level executives, presidents, CIOs, VPs, or anyone interested in learning more about the IoT as it relates to their business. Register here to attend. Topics being discussed at the event include: Opening Keynote: The Future of IoT Industrial IoT: Perception, Reality, and the Way Forward Trust in IoT Manufacturing IoT and the Field Service Industry Platforms in the IoT A Business Approach to IoT Maximizing IoT (Panel) IoT Security Threats in the Billions (Panel) Cisco: Trust in the IoT Supply Chain IoT Roundtable: The Ups and Downs Register for this event, as my guest, for half price by using coupon code IoTD. Even better, if you have a fellow colleague that would benefit from this event, bring them along as well as your guest for no charge—while space is available. You can register here. I look forward to seeing you in person on September 9! Best, Diego Ventura

Diego Ventura Shares His Knowledge on Virtual Assistants and IoT at PSI Conference

On April 4, noHold's CEO, Diego Ventura, was invited to speak at the Peggy Smedley Institute (PSI), 2016 Conference. Situated in San Francisco, California, Diego spoke alongside other professionals from various industries to:

• Review the state of the IoT
  
• Examine the leaders and innovators
• Explore products and successes
• Review threats and security issues
• Look at the lessons learned

Diego's presentation centered around two questions; how will Virtual Assistants (VAs) connect to IoT, and how can humans benefit from this transforming paradigm? Here are a couple short clips of Diego sharing his thoughts and ideas regarding the topic. 

In this introductory clip, Diego touches on the fact that Artificial Intelligence has surpassed the 'basic' capability of beating chess. In today's society, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence are making a huge impact on the IoT world with the growing level of sophisticated algorithms.  

Users submerged in the IoT typically deal with multiple applications to control each individual device. In the clip below, Diego speaks about noHold's Butler-style VA, created to manage all connected devices from a single interface, improving the way individuals relate to the IoT. 

It was a pleasure for Diego to be apart of another engagement put forth by Connected World and The Peggy Smedley Show. 

Let us know your thoughts on the IoT in the comments below. Cisco estimates that within the next 4 years, 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet (Cisco). Do you think a Butler VA can help streamline the way humans are able to interact with all those devices?
