When Matter Starts to Matter: What Thread and Matter mean for the future of IoT

If you’ve ever wrestled with smart device compatibility and thought, why is this still so hard?—you’re not alone. Matter and Thread promise to fix that, creating a more unified, reliable IoT ecosystem. But what do these standards actually mean for developers, and how do you prepare for what’s next?

This session breaks down Matter and Thread. We’ll cover:
- What they are and why they matter (haha, get it?) — A clear, practical look at how these standards work and what they solve.
- Implementation without the headache — What your team needs to know to support Matter and Thread in real products.
- Lessons from the trenches — The real-world challenges (and wins) we’ve encountered while preparing to adopt these standards.
- What’s next? — How Matter and Thread might evolve and what that means for IoT development.

If you're working in connected tech, this session will give you a preview of the state of mesh networking and what you need to know today to continue building connected tech at scale as we navigate the newest trends.

You Can Spell Manufacturing Without Data: How we built insight into the lifecycle of our products

We’ve been making things without data insights for centuries—pyramids, cathedrals, entire industrial revolutions. But trial and error isn’t exactly a competitive strategy anymore. To stay ahead, modern manufacturing needs more than just efficient assembly lines—it needs systems that collect, analyze, and act on data at every step.

In this session, we’ll break down:
- Integrating data pipelines — How to connect manufacturing processes without disrupting operations.
- Making data useful — Strategies for transforming raw production data into actionable insights.
- Predictive strategies — Using real-time analytics to identify and prevent issues before they escalate.
- Lessons from real-world builds — What worked, what failed, and the systems we refined along the way.

If you're building or optimizing data systems in manufacturing (or any industry with complex processes), this talk will give you practical tools and strategies based on my team's experience across our many manufacturing businesses.

IOT for Mobile – Building Smart Home Devices

As a mobile engineer for a manufacturing company that develops everything from hydraulics to furniture, my software spends more than it’s fair share of time interfacing with the real world. Learn from my experience interfacing with backend and electrical engineers as they develop hardware alongside our software. This session will cover everything from architecting cross-functional systems that play nicely together, to technical specifications to bear in mind, to the mistakes we made along the way and how you can avoid them in your work.
