The San Francisco Chapter of the Internet Society has slated February 18th, 2015 as the date for the first INET/IoT Conference.

"The Internet of Things (IoT) is an idea that has been around for a long time but is now starting to come to fruition. The idea is that anything and everything can have a sensor and can provide information to a remote collector somewhere else on The Internet. Our cars, our homes, farm animals, farmer’s fields, light bulbs, roads, just about anything can be fitted with a data collection device and the information used to make smarter decisions. The need to collect and analyze the huge amount of data collected is driving advances in Big Data computing. Such data collection also raises serious privacy and security concerns.
