> Dear Dave and Sebastian,
> 
> Would you be interested to organize a workshop and/or a session on the Web of Things at the IoT Week 2017, in Geneva. As the conference is co-organized with the ITU, it could also contribute to give more visibility to the new standard. 
> 
> I also invite you to relay the information on the open call for F-Interop: www.f-interop.eu <http://www.f-interop.eu/>. If you know members of the WoT community interested to submit a proposal, they could be financed to develop WoT modules for interop and conformance tests.

> Here is a summary of the IoT Week 2017, that we invite you to relay within your community:

> The IoT Week 2017 will be a major conference on the Internet of Things (IoT) co-organized by the IoT Forum, the International Telecommunication Union, the HES-SO and Mandat International. The conference will gather top experts, innovators and stakeholders in the Internet of Things. It is the place where emerging IoT technologies, strategies and policies are discussed, and partnerships developed. After several editions across Europe, it will be hosted in Geneva, at the international conference centre (CICG) and the ITU, from June 6 to 9 2017. The 2017 edition is growing in scope and will encompass:
> IoT Emerging Technologies and Research, reviewing the latest development in the field of IoT research and innovation, and identifying future trends.  
> IoT and Sustainable Development, with the adoption of the “International Declaration on IoT for Sustainable Development” together with the ITU to support the 17 SDGs <http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/> adopted by the UN. 
> IoT Security and Privacy, which will address inter alia cybersecurity development for the IoT and the impact of the recent evolution of personal data protection and privacy norms at the European level (GDPR, WP29, etc.) and in other regions.
> IoT Business, Finance, and Industry 4.0, discussing market prospectives, new financial and business models, as well as the impact of IoT on the industry and factories of the future. 
> The 1st IEEE endorsed Global IoT Summit (GIoTS) presenting selected scientific articles on the most recent IoT innovations.
> An IoT Hackathon for developers.
> Exhibition Area presenting emerging IoT technologies and partners.
> The IoT Week also provides the opportunity to organize workshops and collocate meetings.
