Light Reading Launches IoT Community

Market research, events and publishing company Light Reading has partnered with business networking specialist KNect365 to launch a community, dedicated to tracking and analyzing the Internet of Things (IoT) sector.

The new IoT World News community builds on the long-standing KNect365 IoT news blog, and provides an online resource for news, analysis and in-depth interviews, as well as a moderated forum where IoT professionals can interact with their peers and crowdsource the answers to their business technology questions. Spanning relevant industries and technologies, IoT World News will target more than 1.2 million IoT users across the world, who are looking to invest in this market. The community will also have its own dedicated editorial team, and feature regular contributions from the teams at Light Reading's MR division Heavy Reading.

Steve Bell (pictured), Senior Analyst for IoT at Heavy Reading, comments: 'The power of crowdsourced wisdom will be critical to the rapid adoption of IoT across a broad spectrum of industries. This digital forum will tackle the critical challenges needed to accelerate IoT - the next industrial revolution'.
