</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Talk</b></div>
<div class="">Currently a Senior Analyst at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Eric will explain how the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used to streamline scientific processes, shortening the time-to-market for life-saving drugs. The talk will include:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> - What is IoT? Just another buzzword to get budget allocation from C-level executives, or an actual game-changer?</div>
<div class=""> - How we got here: the technologies and economics that make IoT possible</div>
<div class=""> - Implementations, large and small (the small ones are the most interesting)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

business processes using Python, Django and web APIs.</div>
