Seeking 12 Innovative AI, Blockchain or IoT Solutions for Agriculture – RSVP by 21 Nov
The IEEE Blockchain for Agriculture Forum is seeking technologists to “wow” the
agriculture industry with Lightning Rounds Sessions at its upcoming “Roadmap to
Adoption” forum which will take place on 28-29 November 2018 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The objective of this Forum is to design the roadmap to blockchain adoption. The forum
does not focus on why blockchain in combination with AI and IoT is right for the
agriculture value chain, but rather on how we will drive effective adoption of these
technologies. Learn more about the event at: https://blockchain.ieee.org/standards/agriforum18
If you have a POC or solution using IoTs, artificial intelligence, or blockchain that will
help optimize and secure the agriculture value chain while also enhancing consumer
safety and knowledge about the food they eat, then please submit your idea.
LIGHTNING ROUND SESSION FORMAT
• Presentations are limited to 15 minutes
• An overview of the POC or solution with the use of IoT, artificial intelligence (AI)
or blockchain in the agriculture value chain from the seed in the ground to the
food on the table.
• Presentations should be business technical in nature and focus on the
application and solution.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
There is no fee to participate. We are accepting 12 submissions based on relevancy
and first-come basis.
Deadline for submissions is Wednesday 21 November 2018. (Proposals received
after this date may be considered if there is still space available for participation.)
Your submission must include a one-page (maximum) synopsis on the POC application,
and the challenge it is trying to solve within the agriculture industry. If you have
available design graphics and whitepapers on your application, please include them in
your submission.
All submissions should be sent to Maria Palombini, forum project leader,
m.palombini@ieee.org.
Presenters will be notified of acceptance within 48 hours. Accepted submissions will
