WHAT

The Watson IoT Innovation Playroom is like the science fair you participated in as a kid. After all, the Internet of Things is about things right? So we gathered IoT-savvy Watson IoT partners, customers, and IBMers, who brought real hands-on gizmos and things that you can actually play with to experience the power of Watson IoT LIVE.

You can stop by to play with a demo, grab some snacks, network, receive a custom tour of the playroom, have a meeting, grab a cocktail during one of our partner sponsored Tech Talk Happy Hours, or pop in to take home some "toys" (also known as conference swag).
