ABOUT: Fellow IoT enthusiasts!
After the great success of our inaugural meetups, we are now expanding to a bigger space. We are also very excited to announce the beginning of our speaker series. For this meetup, we are fortunate to welcome Peter Semmelhack, Founder of Bug Labs, and Narayan Menon, VP of Interdigital Labs:
Peter Semmelhack, Bug Labs Founder and CEO, is a seasoned entrepreneur in the IoT and mobile spaces. Before starting Bug Labs, he was the Founder and CEO of Antenna Software, the largest independent enterprise mobility provider in the world. In addition to his speech, he will also be hosting a book giveaway and signing for his Social Machines book (details at http://buglabs.net/social-machines)
Narayan Menon, InterDigital’s Vice President of InterDigital Labs, is responsible for technology strategy, innovation and technology development in the area of next-generation wireless networks. Narayan will discuss the next generation of IoT and some of the challenges facing today’s M2M ecosystem, including device diversity and network scale due to vertical solutions. He believes that the next generation of IoT is all about horizontal platforms that enable scale and a rich landscape of applications that can support interoperability between the diverse devices, applications and networks in the market today.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
