Plantronics CTO to Discuss the Future of Wearables in the Workforce at GLAZED 2014

Joe Burton, CTO for wearable tech pioneer, Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), will help kick-off the 2014 GLAZED Conference, as part of a one-on-one fireside chat with CEO and Wearable World, Inc. co-founder, Redg Snodgrass. During the session, entitled “Looking Ahead: Wearables in the Workforce,” Burton will share his thoughts on advances in wearable technology today and in the future, including the opportunities wearable tech presents for business environments and considerations and open questions still pending. GLAZED is scheduled to take place June 3-4, at the Regency Center, in San Francisco, Calif.

The GLAZED Conference, put on by Wearable World, Inc., brings together technology pioneers, founders, executives, influencers, and investors, who are working to make business sense of wearable technology platforms and propel the overall ecosystem, and industry, forward.

Plantronics has been a wearable tech pioneer for decades – developing and delivering personal audio solutions that are used by millions to communicate. With its advances in on-board sensor technology and its open APIs, the company has moved the classic headset beyond audio and transformed it into an intelligent wearable device and platform with possibilities only limited by a developer’s imagination.
