Turn Up the Heat | April 12-14
“For this year’s Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) All Hands Meeting in Budapest, 12-14 April, Turning up the heat as the theme for meetings, trainings, workshops, networking.
We’re also turning up the heat in the marketplace with the arrival of the first products this year that use Bluetooth v4.0 and its hallmark feature, Bluetooth low energy technology.
We’re planning to demo a few of these compelling new devices that will use this technology to help expand Bluetooth technology into new markets. As compelling as these products may be, the real reason to attend an All Hands Meeting isn’t to look at new devices; it’s to talk to your peers in the wireless industry and rub shoulders with experts on Bluetooth technology and market opportunities. For me, it’s a chance to talk to as many of you as possible, and listen to what you have to say.
One highlight promises to be the panel discussion on 13 April with the chairs of our five new Bluetooth Ecosystem Teams (BETs), right after Mike Foley keynote talk. This is the first time all the BET leaders have gathered to talk with other Bluetooth SIG members. They’ll tell you about their strategies to expand Bluetooth technology into markets where we believe there’s the most opportunity.
This is a great opportunity for members to meet SIG staff, network with other members and learn more about the future direction of Bluetooth technology. It is also a great opportunity for committees and working groups to meet for quarterly face to face meetings.”
