Why You Should Attend

I have been involved with M2M for nearly a decade. While I have participated in many of the conferences and events that currently exist, none has been as rewarding as M2M Evolution. Our participation led to multiple opportunities to build relationships with existing and potential clients, and also served as an excellent platform for education. Furthermore, the general networking and experience sharing has been invaluable in developing new insights and opening up new doors - both personally and professionally!

-Nikki Cuban, Vice President of Marketing for OnAsset Intelligence and M2M Evolution Conference Co-chair



Over the past couple of years, M2M Evolution has evolved from a “nice little show” to a place where the movers and shakers in the M2M market get together. Having served as a moderator, panelist and co-chair of the conference, I have found that attendees find value in the format and relationships it spawns. The caliber of attendees, topics covered, pace of content, amount of networking, and degree of interaction and accessibility between IT decision makers and industry movers and shakers really sets the conference apart.
