IoT Evolution Expo 2020 is coming up fast, and we interviewed several of our speakers to get a bit of a preview of what to expect from their sessions.

Here, we spoke to two of our featured panelists, who will be sharing the stage Thursday Feb 13th in our Best Practices Theatre, to dig deep into a Spotlight on the Supply Chain.

At IoT Evolution Expo 2020, which is taking place February 11 to 14 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, Enrique Acosta, CEO, and Mike Wilkinson, CTO, both of Eye-Seal. Using IoT to provide transparency in the supply chain can benefit cargo owners and shippers around the world.
