Social Hack: IoT & Work

Australia’s first forum for New Product Development, Internet of Things (IoT) and Social Innovation

IoT for Humanity

The best way to be an indispensable brand is to serve humanity. This forum shows how unmet human needs can drive responsible product innovation using the Internet of Things (IoT), and catapult brands into new markets. Social Hack aims to get innovators as excited about our humanity as they are about technology.

IoT with Purpose

If innovation is critical to not just surviving, but thriving, then innovation with purpose offers utopia.

Listen to charities and leaders explore opportunities for social innovation. Learn from experts in public policy, impact investment and technology how to create new possibilities with IoT.

IoT for New Product Development

• Is your product under competitive pressure?
• Want consumer goods to empower humanity?
• Want to make smart products that are ‘good’?

Come and learn how to innovate products with good IoT, and make a social impact.

Tools, eLearning & good IoT

Think about this: if tools were smart enough to detect gaps in skills and deliver bespoke eLearning to a user at the worksite, what would the future of work look like?

Join us in a radical intervention to maximise productivity and save jobs using good IoT.

PIIP and Benojo are proud to spark Australia's first conversation about how IoT can bring the workplace and eLearning together through smart tools.

Learn how smart tools can help people keep their training current and their skills relevant.

Exponential Technology

The pace of change is accelerating. Exponential technology means computational power doubles every 18 months per $1 spent. On the flip side, the cost for a given performance capability halves every 18 months. Computer hardware is decreasing in size every year. The price-performance ratio and shrinking nature of exponential technology (like IoT) is making it possible to put a computer into everything. We are on the verge of solving many complex problems in ways unimagined before.
