WEAVERVILLE, NC – Dan will be representing the United States when he attends the LIFT@Brussels Conference, hosted by Rob van Kranenburg, founder of the Internet of Things Council (IOTC), later on this year. Dan’s affiliation with the IOTC began about five months ago when he was asked to join this group as one of its network consultancy experts. Dan holds a Master of Science degree in Information Technology (IT) with an emphasis in advanced network architecture and systems design. He is currently attending Capella University in Minneapolis, MN where he is pursuing his PhD in IT Education.
The LIFT@ Brussels all-day conference and workshops is being held at the Brussels’ Center for Digital Culture and Technology. Rob van Kranenburg, the founder at Council, will be kicking off the conference with a short presentation entitled, “Transcending Oppositions,” followed by other presenters and, then, by all-day workshops.
Dan has been asked to participate in the “IOT in Education: Creating an MBA” workshop, which will commence in the morning following opening presentations and will carry on following lunch. He will be joined by Rob van Kranenburg and Liesbeth Huybrechts as moderator of this workshop.
While in Brussels, Dan and his wife, Jean, hope to visit the city and tour its most important spots of interest since they will both be arriving the day prior to the conference. Following the conference, Dan and Jean plan to travel by train to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where they hope to take in the sights and take many photos before returning to the States.
For those of you who have never been to Brussels, Brussels is the capital of Belgium and the administrative center of the European Union. This has earned the city the title of the Capital of Europe. Brussels has been given its character by the coexistence of French and Flemish culture, and it is nowadays home to nationalities around the world, adding a cosmopolitan flavor to its atmosphere. The vibrant atmosphere of Brussels is further enhanced by picturesque medieval streets, lively squares, beautiful boulevards, impressive monuments, spacious parks, cozy cafés, interesting restaurants and an active cultural life.
