Well, maybe not "all the things", but at least some of the things :)

I am doing a FREE webinar titled "A Few Things About The Internet of Things (IoT) – An Introduction" on October 12, 2021. You can register in advance here. 

Shortly after the live webinar, you should be able to see it listed with the other webinars and presentations I've done with the GreatIT professional and also later I will list it where I update the list of all webinars I've done with various organizations.

Here's some reference information for the webinar.
