London, UK – 26 February 2026 – Edison Smart has officially launched its new SmartTalks event series with an exclusive IoT roundtable in London, bringing together some of the most respected voices in the Internet of Things industry.
Hosted at The Boathouse London, the inaugural SmartTalks session gathered highly esteemed IoT leaders for an evening of in-depth discussion focused on the realities shaping the IoT market in 2026.
Unlike traditional technology conferences, SmartTalks was intentionally designed as a closed-door executive roundtable. There were no presentations and no sales pitches — just open, honest insight from senior decision-makers operating at the forefront of IoT innovation, connectivity and deployment.
IoT Industry Leaders Driving the Conversation
The first SmartTalks IoT roundtable featured contributions from:
- Niall Strachan, Pelion – Next Generation IoT Services
- Paul Donaldson, OV – IoT Disruption and Market Acceleration
- Stephen Osborn, Telenor IT – Large-Scale IoT Deployment Realities
Discussion covered IoT connectivity trends, deployment challenges, commercial scalability, next-generation services, and the evolving talent landscape across the global IoT ecosystem.
With a curated guest list of senior executives and technical leaders, the evening quickly evolved into high-value peer discussion. In fact, conversations proved so impactful that the event space booking was extended beyond its scheduled time — a clear indicator of the appetite for meaningful, executive-level dialogue within the IoT industry.
Strengthening Edison Smart’s Position in the IoT Market
As a specialist technology recruitment business operating across IoT, Smart Buildings and Industrial Automation, Edison Smart continues to position itself at the centre of the sectors it supports.
The SmartTalks series reinforces Edison Smart’s commitment to:
- Connecting IoT industry leaders

The first London IoT roundtable reached full capacity, and further SmartTalks events are already being planned for 2026.
