TORONTO, ON – An inaugural Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, M2M Summit is scheduled June 21 and 22 in Toronto, featuring several high-profile speakers from Canada’s transportation industry.

Presentations will be made by Scott Tilley, chair of the Ontario Trucking Association; Mark Seymour, CEO of Kriska Transportation; and Angela Splinter, CEO of Trucking HR Canada. The keynote speaker is Ted Lancaster, COO of Kia Canada.

“IoT technologies enable organizations in the industrial industry to resume work in a fraction of the time required before,” says Hifazat Ahmad, managing director of IoTEvents.ca. “For example, if the global oil industry improves pump performance by even 1%, it would increase oil production by half a million barrels a day and earn the industry an additional $19 billion a year. This conference will bring leaders from to talk about how the future of IoT will shape the future of all Industrial sectors, including transportation.”
