Fireside Chat: Making the Rubber Meet the Road for the Internet of Things
Car manufacturer Ford views the Internet of Things in two ways: inside the car and outside the car. Inside, a car becomes a smart, networked system that connects sound, visuals, and instruments to help the commuter be productive while driving. Outside, the car becomes part of a broader transportation network that might include subways, trains, and planes. Vehicles are becoming smarter, but the infrastructure to support them is not there yet. Join Ford Motor Company’s Chief Technology Director, Vijay Sankaran, as he discusses how connectivity is starting to drive more intelligent cities with the evolution of new partnerships and relationships between public companies and the public and private sectors to really drive this initiative forward.
Speaker:
Vijay Sankaran, Chief Technology Director, Ford Motor Company
Moderator:
Dylan Tweney, Executive Editor, VentureBeat
Panel: Mobile Second, ‘Experience First’

Panelists:
Milind Gadekar, CEO & Founder, CloudOn
Sam Lawrence, CEO, CrushPath

Alex Bard, SVP & GM, Salesforce
Moderator:

Panel & Fireside Chat: The State of the Apposphere
It is likely that in the year 2014, the world will cross the 2 billion-connected-devices threshold. Mobile devices and the apps built for them have radically changed the way we live, work, and play. Significant sectors of everyday life have been forever augmented, and there is not an industry left untouched by mobile. Eighty percent of consumers’ time on mobile devices is spent in apps, and more mobile devices are activated every day around the world than babies are born. Flurry’s Prashant Fuloria will share new insights gathered from app activity across more than 1 billion smartphones and tablets globally, and break down what is really happening on all those devices.
