A few IoT Tech Expo Conference 2016 Takeaways

New user / customer interface starting to be introduced where 'simple' interactions are targeted
Large (hardware manufacturer) players providing end to end support (prototyping to scaling production grade solution)  

Several alternatives available to RasPi's and Arduino's for IoT fast prototyping – available from hardware global manufacturers - i.e. Linkit series from MediaTek
Major IoT challenges remain security, interoperability and viable business models 

IoT pitfalls:
- Solution created w/o a real problem behind it to charge for 
- Not using (some) off the shelf products which can reduce time and risk 
- Power management 
- Monetisation 
- Security built-in not added-on 

E-textiles to replace conductive materials 

Industrial IoT in focus: predictive and real-time analytics to minimise critical equipment downtime 
Augmented reality showcased by ThingWorx
