Johannesburg gets ready for the 5th IoT Forum Africa 2022 organised by IT News Africa

JOHANNESBURG, March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the last few years, government and organisations alike have had to facilitate the explosion of technologies - such as AI, 5G and underpinning it all, IoT. This global disruptor requires far more than simply the infrastructure to support it – to be used effectively, IoT will also likely rely on innovative solutions to keep it secure and sustainable.

And while there is a very real hype surrounding IOT, very few enterprises know how to make the most of it. That is why Johannesburg is gearing up for the sixth edition of the Internet of Things Forum Africa (#IOTFA2022). This two-day hybrid conference is set to take place from 29-30 March 2022 at The Maslow Hotel, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Under the theme, "Enabling Enterprise Transformation with IoT" #IOTFA2022 will see hundreds of Africa's tech heavyweights equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to plan and implement successful IoT projects. Get head of the IoT curve by moving their IoT pilots from project phase into real-world production.

The forum will also look into IoT, AI and big data convergence and building sustainable eco-systems that can truly tap into this connected technology.
