Digital Entrepreneur organises a number of events around the World including the #IoTDinner in London.

The #IoTDinner follows the "Introduction, Guest Speakers and Discussion Format". Following a short introduction our guest speakers are invited to talk to the group on a specific theme followed by questions, answers and discussion.

At the #IoTDinner on the 28th June in central London we will be focusing on the future of the user interface in the home and beyond as our theme and what we need to do to prepare for the huge shift from touch to voice and beyond.

At the #IoTDinner in May with James Akrigg from Microsoft we looked at HoloLens and how Mixed Reality will change the way we see the World around us, now we move on to look at how we will interact with that developing World.

This is a significant shift directly relevant to manufacturers and developers. Over the last three decades we have travelled from the keyboard to the mouse and touchpad, to the touchscreen and more recently to voice. Indeed, in a recent publication "Mary Meeker's 2016 internet trends report" Mary suggests that typing into a search bar is very last year and that in only five short years, at least 50 percent of all searches are going to be using either images or speech.

As consumers become more comfortable with the speed and ease of using voice as the interface then how will manufacturers react and how will these changes affect the applications that run on these devices?

How will Amazon Echo, Siri and other systems develop? What will they allow us and our customers do? What are the opportunities?

As normal we have a great keynote speaker organised, further details on this will be available shortly.

Demonstrations are very much welcomed and encouraged and naturally there are plenty of opportunities for networking. If you are a manufacturer/developer/entrepreneur in this space and would like to demonstrate your products at this event please get in touch with me by email - duncan@digital-entrepreneur.com for details.

Please note that this event will be streamed live and recorded using our 360° camera then made available to members in our archive for review shortly after the event.
