IoTFA 2022 is here, in the past few years, organizations of all sizes have had to adapt to a proliferation of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, blockchain, 5G, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
As a result, policymakers have come to conclude that, for IoT to function effectively, it will need more than just infrastructure – it will also need innovative solutions to ensure its sustainability and security. And while there is a real hype surrounding IoT, very few enterprises know how to actually make the most of it.
This is why Johannesburg is gearing up for the fifth Internet of Things Forum Africa ( IoTFA 2022). This two-day hybrid conference is set to take place from 29 to 30 March 2022 at The Maslow Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa.
