Best of all, you will get to hear about the latest happening with Xi IoT! After lunch, you will get a chance to get hands-on with the lab of your choice. Learn more here.



Edge Computing Platform for IoT/AI Apps as Containers or Functions, Wednesday, 4:40pm-5:20pm

Description: We are living in a centralized world of private and public clouds - but that's all about to change with the proliferation of IoT devices, sensors, and machine-to-machine communication further away from the cloud. IoT represents a computing paradigm shift from the centralized cloud model to the decentralized edge computing model. Organizations now need to plan for edge computing and an edge-to-cloud IoT stack as part of their extended data center strategy. In this session, we'll share IoT use cases, technology considerations for building an intelligent edge for IoT, the functional role of edge vs. cloud, and a demonstration of a software stack that solves essential problems in IoT operationalization and rapid app development.



Morning Keynote, Thursday, 8:30am-9:30am

Description: Science fiction has painted robots as the downfall of humankind, but robots can do everything from assisting with heart surgeries to mixing drinks. They can even lead the exploration of other planets. What are the implications of human-robot interaction, learning, and autonomous control in our daily lives? How will humans and robots interact in the next decade? You won't want to miss this fascinating look at what's to come with Dr. Ayanna Howard, American roboticist and the School Chair for Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Immediately following Dr. Howard, learn how Nutanix enables IT to go beyond automation to autonomic datacenters. Our machine learning capabilities are designed to generate actionable infrastructure and application signals, which combine with feedback loops using custom playbooks. See how we are making the development and testing of AI and IOT applications"one-click simple." Join Nutanix GM & VP Satyam Vaghani and Nutanix CTO Binny Gill for this demo-filled session showcasing our latest breakthroughs in datacenter and edge technologies.



Build, Stage, Deploy IoT and AI Apps: Details and a Case Study, Thursday, 10:00am-10:45am

Description: Enterprises are generating data at exponential rates with IoT enabled devices creating a bulk of it. Gartner predicts by 2020 that 20.4 billion connected devices will contribute to the data sprawl. Collecting and analyzing this massive amount data is not humanly possible. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can take it to the next level and reveal solutions where ones were not likely. However, deploying, operating, securing, optimizing AI-based applications in production remains a challenge. Join this technical session led by Nutanix experts to walk you through first-hand, real-world case studies deploying AI apps for IoT and other enterprise use cases in production. Learn how AI, ML, IoT, and IT infrastructure work together to drive better outcomes across manufacturing, retail, telco, healthcare, smart cities, and more.



Hands-on Lab: Wednesday, 11:15am-5:10pm and Thursday, 10:00am-3:15pm

Description: Come in and get hands-on time with Nutanix technologies in a self-paced lab environment. Learn about Nutanix products and features with labs such as: Xi IoT!



It’s going to be a packed house and you won’t want to be on the waiting list. Take a minute and reserve your seat! It’s easy to build your agenda and only takes a few minutes.



You will also have time to network directly with the experts, learn new skills and best practices, and hear customer stories. We also have some really cool IoT giveaways, which you won’t want to miss. Oh and don’t forget the party of the year at the City National Grove Anaheim.



We look forward to seeing you in these sessions, or in an EBC for a personalized deep dive (email iot@nutanix.com to set up a meeting). It’s time to take advantage of these all these resources for a few days. We hope you enjoy it and walk away with actionable insights.
