Overview
It is the role of the IET Internet of Things Technical Network to provide a place for professionals from all sectors to come together and discuss thoughts and ideas, learn concepts, and share useful content. Affiliation with Technical or Local Networks is welcome, as it is crucial for us to share a common goal of professional development with our members.
The real success will be in our ability to develop a sense of community and to provide value to you and others in the IET family through continuous discussion and collaboration. You are welcome to participate in the debate here on this topic, as well as reach out to any of the members of the committee. The thoughts and requirements you provide will help shape how the Technical Network will support the engineering community's development.
Finally, as we grow as a TN, we look to grow our committee. If you want to be a part of this, please get in touch.
