From automated homes, buildings and factories to enhanced traffic flow with autonomous cars and connected signals, from fully connected health data across personal devices and doctors to smart cities that monitor safety, energy usage, and more, the benefits of connected devices are huge. In this event, Rhonda Dirvin of ARM will cover the technologies that are making the IoT a reality, and guest speakers will provide several examples that demonstrate its power to reshape our lives, jobs, and society. We welcome your participation! Please send us your questions, answers and prognostications in advance at [email protected]. Admission to the Austin Forum is always free. The Austin Forum accepts donations of used cell phones and smart phones at all our events. All devices will have a factory reset and be set up as new by the team at Austin Pathways’ nationally-recognized “Unlocking the Connection” initiative, which will connect every public housing resident with a digital device, digital literacy training, and a free or very low-cost internet connection. Your donated phone can change lives and help close Austin's digital divide, thanks to Austin Pathways. Thanks to Austin Public Library for their partnership. And a special thanks to all our sponsors!
