Joe Burton, CTO for wearable tech pioneer, Plantronics (NYSE:
PLT), will help kick-off the 2014 GLAZED
Conference, as part of a one-on-one fireside chat with CEO and
Wearable World, Inc. co-founder, Redg Snodgrass. During the session,
entitled “Looking Ahead: Wearables in the Workforce,” Burton will share
his thoughts on advances in wearable technology today and in the future,
including the opportunities wearable tech presents for business
environments and considerations and open questions still pending. GLAZED
is scheduled to take place June 3-4, at the Regency Center, in San
Francisco, Calif.
The GLAZED Conference, put on by Wearable World, Inc., brings together
technology pioneers, founders, executives, influencers, and investors,
who are working to make business sense of wearable technology platforms
and propel the overall ecosystem, and industry, forward.
Plantronics has been a wearable tech pioneer for decades – developing
and delivering personal audio solutions that are used by millions to
communicate. With its advances in on-board sensor technology and its
open APIs, the company has moved the classic headset beyond audio and
transformed it into an intelligent wearable device and platform with
possibilities only limited by a developer’s imagination.
