Ed Hightower is a technologist and business development manager with extensive wireless and machine-to-machine experience.  I've been in the North Dallas tech community for over 30 years and been involved with Tech Titans (https://techtitans.org/) for 20 years now.  I am presently a Tri-chari for the Tech Titans IoT Forum ( https://techtitans.org/internet-of-things-iot/) and am the Track Chair for the IEEE MetroCon Conference scheduled for Nov. 7th in Hurst, TX (http://www.metrocon.org/2018/ ).  I speak regularly about the Internet of Things to the IEEE and to other tech organizations.  I also host a monthly IoT breakfast each 3rd Friday of the month in Plano.  I have over 300 IoT technologists, entrepreneurs and business executives on my email distribution list and usually have between 40 and 50 people attend each breakfast.
