Welcome to 2015 and welcome to this site! This dedicated monthly meetup on the topic of the The Internet of Things is now 3 years old and needed to stretch its wings across the internet.
For those of you new to the meetup, well it was started in September 2011 by Cosm (formerly Pachube, now Xively). In November 2011, Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino was asked by Ed Borden, Cosm evangelist at the time, to curate this meetup.
Resin.io and Sherlock by One Fine Stay took over as sponsors in late 2014.
The format is simple: three speakers are selected every month to talk for 10 minutes each followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. Attendees then get an hour to network and enjoy drinks & nibbles. We then move to a nearby pub.
The meetup is open to anyone interested in connected objects, environments, buildings, behaviours and more. The field is very new and every meetup tries to cover different aspects of the industry so it’s useful to come by often to hear about different perspectives. All you need is to sign up on meetup.com and come along. It’s free and very friendly and usually takes place on a Tuesday at the end-ish of every month.
Twice a year (in summer and for Christmas), we hold showcase events where we invite startups to show off their work in a trade-show like environment.
There’s also a newsletter that is published with community news which will be shared on this blog.
If you’d like to speak, get in touch with Alexandra by emailing her at alex at iot dot london with “Speaking at #iotlondon” in the subject line.
See you at the meetup!
