IEEE Spectrum Free Tech Insiders Webinar, Oct 26, 2010

Building a Smarter Electronics Industry

TIME: 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT / 14:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)
The electronics industry has been slow to take advantageof the remarkable potential that its own products enable. There are still billions of isolated, unconnected electronic devices in the world. Players from outside the traditional electronics industry are developing alliances with fast-moving, forward-thinking startups. They are already building a more connected electronics industry. Electronics manufacturers must abandon old ways of doing business. Recognize that your products are part of a broader “Internet of things,” a system for the development and delivery of services that will significantly advance the entire industry.  The time to transition the electronics industry into a smart system is now. The demand is strong. The products are maturing.  Learn how IBM has the technology to tie it all together. 



This webinar is part of the Electronics for a Smarter Planet Virtual Briefing Center launch on Oct 26 2010, a virtual event consisting of three exciting webinars designed to help prepare for the future of electronics manufacturing!  This day will mark a significant change in how the global leader in the electronics industry, IBM, conducts its business. It is a day not to be missed!
