From the Editor's Desk
Are you coming to the AIM Expo? This new trade show and
conference (http://www.aim-expo.com/) is the event to be
at this year. I will be making two presentations
(standards and The Internet of Things) on Monday 1
November. There will also be a dinner on Wednesday night
to celebrate the top awards of the industry. Make sure
you are there to see the Dilling, Percival, Williams and
Journalism awards presented to this year’s winners. The
winners are still a secret, so it could be you! I will
be making one of the presentations.
