The second annual Wearable Tech Summit will take place at CES 2018 on Thursday, January 11.
“With shrinking footprints, new flexible and woven materials, advances in battery life, new interfaces like voice and gesture, and a collaborative cloud of data, wearable technology is heading towards its next plateau. We’re predicting that wearables in the workplace will get a major boost this year, as will a host of IoT wearables designed to keep you safe and healthier. Debates will spark around privacy as more and more companies use wearables to track everything from exercise to access at the workplace,” said Robin Raskin, founder and president, Living in Digital Times.
This year’s sessions at the Wearable Tech Summit include:
• A look at how wearables are moving away from “geeky” and toward “fashion-forward” with experts from ELLE magazine, Heisel, Fossil Group and Ashley Chloe.
• The Top Five Wearable Trends of 2018 with Xenoma, Interaxon (Muse) and Google.
• Wearables that keep you safer and healthier with insight from Nuheara, ShotDoctor, Euromonitor International, Tractive GmbH and TrackR.
• A discussion about wearables for safety and security in the workplace moderated by Piers Fawkes, Founder & President, PSFK.
• Dr. Amanda Parkes shares her work on future-forward wearables.
