Georgia Tech-Savannah & TAG to Host Session on Business & Mobility

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, August 26th, 2015

Thought leaders from Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. and Georgia Institute of Technology will discuss business and mobility at a breakfast meeting co-hosted by Technology Association of Georgia and Georgia Tech-Savannah. The presentation, “What Mobile Applications and the Internet of Things Mean to the Future of Your Business,” will be held on September 30 from 7:30 until 9:30 a.m.

Hannah Byrne, Gulfstream’s director of Enterprise Mobile Solutions, and Russell Clark, a senior research scientist in Georgia Tech’s School of Computer Science, will lead an interactive discussion for those interested in how mobility and the Internet of Things -- machine-to-machine communication built on cloud computing and networks of data-gathering sensors -- can transform their business operations.

“When thinking about the Internet of Things and mobility, the mind tends to conjure images of smartphone apps, a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat, a fitness wearable or even remote access to your home security system. With smartphones and the increased use of enabled devices, businesses are able to interact with and gather endless amounts of data on consumer activities,” said Clark. “But what does that data mean for businesses? How are they using it? This program will explore the impact that mobile applications and the Internet of Things is having on businesses of every size and type.”

The program, which is free to TAG members and $15 for non-members is open to the public and will take place on the Georgia Tech-Savannah campus at 210 Technology Circle. For more information or to register, go to http://www.tagonline.org/events/
