Partner Michael Guiliana will be moderating an exciting session titled, SMART Worker", on Thursday, May 28, 2015, at 7:00 p.m., at the Calit2 Building Auditorium at the University of California, Irvine.

A leader in the Internet of Things movement, Calit2, from the start, has developed and integrated technology into devices and applications for improving our daily lives.
