Our Speakers

SPEAKER ONE
Len Damiano, General Manager at Sentinel and CSI

Topic: Sentinel: Earthquake Response as a Service

When you feel an earthquake, what do you do? Evacuate? Keep working and hope for the best? How do you decide? When an earthquake happens, big decisions have to be made quickly about people and property. Globally unique, the Sentinel service has been developed by Canterbury Seismic Instruments, right here in Christchurch. Sentinel distils the hard-won experience of the Canterbury, Seddon and Kaikoura quakes into a simple, user-friendly subscriber service that ensures you make the right call for your people, your business and your building.

Len’s presentation will focus on the lessons behind the creation of Sentinel, and how Sentinel helps all organizations, building owners, property managers and the general public to make better decisions following a quake.

SPEAKER TWO
Nigel Sharplin Founder and Director InFact Ltd and PiP IoT

Nigel has for 22 years as the Founder and Managing Director of InFact, delivered over 400 new technology products to market for New Zealand export
