“This conference here in the Bay Area is the 21st of these events that WT | Wearable Technologies has organized around the world over the past 10 years,” remarked Firstbeat CEO Joni Kettunen about the upcoming event. “The industry has been developing so quickly, sometimes it’s surprising to realize it’s already been a decade, then I look back and remember that we’ve been working at Firstbeat since 2002, so even longer than that. It’s amazing to see how far things have come in that time, and we are excited to be here, sponsoring this event, with the goal of gathering the industry together, sharing expertise and building the future.”
