THE WASHING MACHINE TWITTERS: 2010 INTERNET OF THINGS YEAR! The ninth edition of M2M Forum 2010, the European tradeshow dedicated to the world of communication between machines, this year it is the benchmark event for the Internet of things.

17-02-2010 - The Internet of Things is in the scene in Milan. Great expectations for M2M Forum, the event leader for the world of communication between machines and the first Italian event dedicated entirely to the Internet of Things, one of the main areas of development of the emerging Web 3.0.

The event, to be held on May 6 at the Atahotel Expo Fiera di Milano, will once again be a reference point for the encounter and exchange of ideas between experts of international relevance on the M2M world: main protagonists are the present and future scenarios, the dynamism, the rapidity of change and all the latest news in the industry. The Forum has gathered in Milan in 2009, a business community of more than 650 visitors, with an exhibition area enhanced by 23 sponsors and exhibitors - of which 30% foreigners. The very significant results of last year, therefore, makes the expectation bigger for this edition that is just around the corner.

It is precisely at M2M Forum 2010 that the Internet of Things will play an important role: the Net is increasingly becoming a connective tissue that penetrates objects and places, "it surrounds" mankind and creates a world where people are more and more connected to any kind of object, and so the objects together, creating a huge number of new services. M2M Forum will be an opportunity to have an overview of the developments, future applications and market opportunities that the Internet of Things can also create in the world of communication between machines and between men and machines, even through Web 2.0 tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Flickr etc.

Other hot topics in the conference. Many thematic discussed in the plenary session and afternoon workshops. Technologies & Solutions: new applications, experiments and growing market.
