9:30-10:10 a.m.	Opening Keynote: Cisco’s IoT Vision & Strategy Chuck Robbins, CEO, Cisco Every leader and every organization is having to move faster than ever before, and as companies, cities, and countries around the world look to drive digital transformation, the Internet of Things sits at the center. IoT is happening now, but we’ve only just begun to fully realize its potential. IoT is helping create a new world of value as we securely connect things, and capture, understand, and act on data, and this process is fueling innovation across the entire market. Working together, we can create the future of IoT, through sharing knowledge and expertise, ultimately setting the course for how business will be done in the future.
10:10-10:50 a.m.	Animating the Physical World Through the Internet of Value Don Tapscott, The Tapscott Group, Inc. Co-author, Blockchain Revolution and Wikinomics Author, The Digital Economy – 20th Anniversary Edition The physical world is being animated – it’s coming alive as physical objects are imbued with the ability to not just sense, process, and communicate information but to think, learn and transact. But if these billions of things are to participate fully in the economy, our institutions and our daily life they need a commercial platform. The Internet of Everything needs a Ledger of Everything enabling it to do business, transact and generate economic value. Don Tapscott, arguably the world’s leading thinker about the digital age over three decades argues that current Internet is evolving from a platform for information into a platform for value – based on the biggest innovation in computing science in a generation – blockchain. This Internet of Value enables us to animate the physical world and adopt powerful new business models. All this will change the nature of the firm and the way governments operate. It also has profound implications for IT strategy, architecture, and leadership as through it, every business can finally become a digital business.
10:50-11:00 a.m.	Transforming Your Workforce for IoT – An HR Perspective from GE Jennifer Waldo, Chief Human Resources Officer, GE
11:30-12:10 p.m.	A Tsunami of Change: Next-Generation Business Models: Monetizing Data Dr. Jennifer Belissent, Principal Analyst, Forrester Sameer Agraval, VP, Supply Chain Solutions, Honeywell Dr. Dennis Curry, Business Innovation and R&D, Konica-Minolta Many companies have put their IoT data to work internally, primarily for cost savings through process optimization. But that has its limits. Savvy leaders now understand that others can benefit from the data as well, and are increasingly taking it to market. The potential use cases are endless – giving rise to new companies and transforming traditional product companies into providers of data and insights services. In this session, we examine the innovative business models and best practices that drive successful data commercialization.
2–2:45 p.m.	IoT and Government: Impact of New Technologies on Leadership and Citizen Services Anil Menon (Moderator), SVP, Smart+Connected Communities, Cisco Eitan Barzilay, Chief Business Development & Innovation Officer, Jerusalem Municipality Raj Mack, Head of Digital Birmingham Join a panel of visionary government leaders to learn how they are embracing IoT’s promise to improve the delivery of services, streamline operations, and fortify decision support through shared data. Hear what challenges they’re facing and the journey they’re on towards solutions. Could IoT change how government functions at its core?

All the data that is collected from sensors and devices that can be rolled up and analyzed makes great business sense. But how do we overcome the challenges to reap the enormous benefits?
4:30-5:15 p.m.	Closing Keynote Speaker - Senseable Cities Carlo Ratti, Director of MIT Senseable City Lab, Founding Partner at Carlo Ratti Associati Design and Innovation Office The increasing deployment of sensors and hand-held electronics in recent years is allowing a new approach to the study of the built environment. The way we describe and understand cities is being radically transformed - alongside the tools we use to design them and impact on their physical structure. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati.
