This document discusses trends in digital culture and the Internet of Things (IoT). It notes that digital culture is defined by highly interactive users who like to be in control and connected even while mobile. It outlines three phases of IoT development: 1) things get a voice; 2) things join the system; 3) things get smart. The document advocates for experience design and seamless technology integration to accommodate digital native expectations around collaboration, content, and communication preferences. It promotes in-person events as an ultimate touchpoint and discusses hybrid meeting solutions and tech integration consulting services.
