As in past years, presentations will focus on real-world challenges in integrating diverse systems and data, and are delivered by individuals leading the effort to streamline data interchange through the use of Project Haystack technology.

Haystack Connect is known for the quality of its technical program, which is driven by the Project Haystack community. With the decision to hold the conference virtually, maintaining the same high-quality technical program has been a paramount consideration during all phases of planning for the event.

As in past years, presentations will focus on real-world challenges in integrating diverse systems and data, and are delivered by individuals leading the effort to streamline data interchange through the use of Project Haystack technology. Providing educational value is the primary goal of all presentations.

The program is divided into three tracks. Track 1, Haystack in Practice, explores real world applications of Haystack tagging. Track 2 is the technical track. This year, the technical track will include several sessions on Haystack 4. Track 3 is the ever popular “Pitchfest”—a fast-paced look at new products and services utilizing Haystack technology (think ‘Shark Tank’ for Haystack).

We are excited to announce the availability of the Haystack Data Modeling Guide Specification in Japanese.

This new document was the result of work by Project-Haystack.org members in Japan and further demonstrates the growing international support for project Haystack as the semantic modeling language for device data.

Our sincere thanks to the community members that produced this new resource.

Memoori Research presents the 3rd FREE Webinar in its 2021 Smart Building Series.

On Thursday 1st April 1700 CET | 1100 EDT

Join us for a FREE Webinar with John Petze & Marc Petock from the Project Haystack Organization discussing 10 Years of Bringing Data Semantics to the Built Environment.

What We Will Be Discussing

Over the last 10 Years, community-driven Project Haystack has evolved, adding richer, more advanced data modeling that continues to merge the worlds of data scientists, deep domain experts, systems integrators, and contractors into a growing global ontology. The rewards are brilliant.

In celebration, Project Haystack is excited to announce that the 10th Anniversary Connections Magazine is in development and is issuing a Call for Advertisers from the community that provides Haystack-compatible products and solutions around the world. It is scheduled to be published in April 2021. Connections Magazine, published bi-annually, documents how the Project Haystack community is applying or implementing the Haystack Tagging methodology in the building and facilities management industry. Facility owners, operators, managers and service companies recognize that a standardized approach to semantic data modeling is key to overcoming the hurdles related to effectively using the data produced by the built environment.

The Project Haystack Organization is excited to announce sponsors to date for the 2021 Haystack Connect virtual conference May 4-6. These organizations lead the efforts to streamline data interchange through the use of Project Haystack open-source technology. Their support emphasizes the importance of this event to the Project Haystack community, as well as to the broader community of automation, control and IoT professionals. Their support also enables the event to offer FREE Registration to all attendees.
