Connecting Technology to People Underscores Immersions
Showcase in Four Key U.S. Markets
Arrow Electronics Inc. (NYSE:ARW) today announced its Internet
of Things Immersions Roadshow that will showcase how
“Interconnected Intelligence” is changing the way the world
interacts and solves problems with technology.
The Immersions tour will engage the world’s top technology
leaders to discuss comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) building
blocks and how businesses can leverage Interconnected Intelligence
to improve lives throughout the world. With forums in four key U.S.
markets, Arrow connects technology developers with leading-edge
suppliers to provide insights about IoT technologies and services,
discuss topical issues and applications, and see demos of IoT
solutions created with Arrow’s support, and more.
“The true goal of technology is to benefit people and improve
their lives,” said Mike Long, chairman, president and chief
executive officer of Arrow. “Collaborative learning on how society
can improve, by being better connected and better informed, is what
Arrow hopes to accomplish with our Immersions tour.”
In each city, Arrow will welcome approximately 1,500 innovators
and thought leaders from businesses, government agencies and
academia. The tour is scheduled for the following cities:
- Atlanta, Ga. -- Oct. 30, 2014
- Minneapolis, Minn. -- Dec. 11,
2014
- San Jose, Ca. -- March 5, 2015
- Boston, Mass. -- March 26, 2015
During the event’s keynote presentation, Indy Racing League team
owner and former driver, Sam Schmidt, will share his story of how
working with Arrow on machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies enabled
him to drive official qualifying laps at this year’s Indianapolis
500, following a car crash that left him a quadriplegic in
2000.
“Thanks to Arrow’s holistic view of the Internet of Things,
we’re able to maximize business process efficiency, convert system
data into business intelligence and create new sources of revenue
through Interconnected Intelligence solutions,” said Andrew Bryant,
chief operating officer of Arrow’s global components and enterprise
computing solutions businesses.
