Panel Discussion: Scaling the Edge: Overcoming Challenges in Deployment and Integration
As edge computing moves from concept to implementation, businesses face critical challenges in scaling and integrating these solutions into existing infrastructures. This panel brings together industry leaders and technology experts to discuss the practical hurdles of deploying edge technologies at scale, from managing complexity and ensuring interoperability to addressing security and cost concerns.
Gain actionable insights into best practices, real-world strategies, and innovative approaches to overcoming these obstacles, empowering your organization to fully harness the power of edge computing.
10:50 - 11:20
Presentation: Physical AI: Making models for the Real World with Edge Impulse
Join Jim Bruges, a Senior Engineer at Edge Impulse for a session exploring what Physical AI is, and how it can be used to build more intelligent physical systems which don’t need to rely on connectivity or massive cloud models.
11:25 - 11:45
Presentation: Scaling Intelligence, Not Complexity: A Platform Approach to Edge AI
Edge AI has moved from experimentation to production, but many organizations now struggle to scale operations. Deploying AI workloads across hundreds or thousands of edge locations increases complexity in infrastructure consistency, security governance, lifecycle management, and day-2 operations.
In this session, we’ll explore how enterprises are using a platform-based approach to transform edge infrastructure from isolated sites into a centrally governed, operationally consistent fleet. We’ll discuss how Spectro Cloud Palette enables organizations to streamline Kubernetes management across distributed environments, enforce reliable policy controls, and automate lifecycle processes for edge clusters running AI workloads regardless of hardware, location, or connectivity constraints.
Attendees will gain practical strategies to reduce operational risk, accelerate AI deployment, and maintain control at scale. The session will provide a clear roadmap to move faster, operate more reliably, and scale AI confidently at the edge without compromising security or governance.
11:45 - 12:05
Presentation: How IoT Innovations are Powering the Rise of Digital Twins
Digital twins rely on constant, trusted IoT data, but global deployments are still complex and unreliable. Innovations like SGP.32 and modern IoT MVNO models are changing this. Pelion will show how cloud-native eSIM management, multi-network resilience and unified operations deliver stable, scalable data flows for accurate, secure digital twins. Learn how these advances simplify deployment and unlock real value.
12:05 - 12:25
Networking Break
12:25- 12:45
Presentation: Digital Twin Evolution: From Traditional to Intelligent to Generative.
This session will explore the evolution of digital twins, tracing their origins from initial concept over 25 years ago to current status as utilized across multiple industries including the role of the latest advancements in Generative AI.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of digital twins’ journey from conceptualization to becoming a critical driver of innovation across multiple sectors as exemplified through value oriented real-world applications.
The presentation will highlight how digital twin use has spread the origin in manufacturing and aerospace across to sectors including healthcare and life science, smart cities, and beyond, showcasing their increasing sophistication in simulating predicted futures and optimizing decision-making processes.
Use cases of real-world applications , spanning the Digital Twin lifecycle phases, will showcase leading methodologies and frameworks developed by Digital Twin Consortium members.
The presentation will conclude with a discussion of evolving work products, research directions, and opportunities for further development and cross-industry collaboration to advance Digital Twin adoption.
12:50 - 13:30

Lunch Break
14:30 - 15:30
Digital Twin Masterclass: Developing Digital Twins with Generative AI
This interactive workshop bridges the Digital Twin Capabilities Periodic Table (DT CPT) with the AI Agent Capabilities Periodic Table (AIA CPT) frameworks to create Intelligent Digital Twins – based on an architectural framework that doesn’t just mirror physical assets but actively reasons, predicts, and takes autonomous actions using generative AI.
Attendees will learn how to utilize the frameworks to optimize their technology selection.
15:35 - 16:15
Panel Discussion: Securing the IoT Ecosystem: Strategies for Resilience and Risk Mitigation
With billions of connected devices reshaping industries, IoT security has become a top priority for businesses and policymakers alike. This panel brings together cybersecurity leaders to dissect the evolving threat landscape and explore cutting-edge strategies for safeguarding IoT ecosystems. From zero-trust architecture and AI-driven threat detection to encryption advancements and regulatory compliance, experts will share insights on building resilient, future-ready security frameworks. As cyber risks grow more sophisticated, organizations must stay ahead—this discussion will reveal the key tactics shaping the next era of IoT security.
16:20 - 16:30
Presentation: Silmaril AIoT: AI in the palm of your hand
As Edge AI becomes increasingly central to IoT strategies, many organisations struggle to move beyond pilots into reliable, secure, and scalable deployments. This talk explores what it really takes to ship Edge AI in production environments.
Drawing on real-world deployments across smart infrastructure and industrial IoT, Silmaril AIoT will show how ultra-low-power computer vision and embedded AI can be delivered securely at the sensor, reducing cloud dependency, bandwidth, latency, and attack surface. The session will cover practical trade-offs around model selection, power budgets, on-device security, and lifecycle management, and explain why “AI at the edge” works when engineering, product, and security considerations are aligned from day one.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of where Edge AI adds genuine value, and how to design systems that are robust enough to operate in the real world.
