Haystack Connect 2015 Announced

YES! The Haystack Connect event will be back for 2015.

The 2013 inaugural Haystack Connect event was a great success and attendees voiced resounding support for making it an ongoing industry event.

Initial plans are underway by the community volunteers to host the event in May of 2015. The location and exact dates will be announced by September of 2014 so watch for full details.

Based on the positive response to the event, and the continued growth of the community we expect to see significant growth in attendance.

For those of you new to the topic, Haystack Connect is the place where industry professionals come to learn the latest techniques for connecting systems and data to achieve intelligent, efficient buildings. Technologies and session topics include data acquisition, wireless communications, protocol translation, data visualization, analytics and methods to effectively bring all of that data together for improved systems and equipment performance.

The data integration topic is of course where the synergy with Project-Haystack is found. Project Haystack (www.project-haystack.org) was founded in 2011 specifically to address this challenge and make it easier for software applications to consume, analyze and present data from smart devices and equipment systems.
