\/ EINPresswire.com<\/a> <\/a>\/ \u2014 NEWTON, MA \u2014 (Marketwired) \u2014 05\/10\/16 \u2014 <\/em>The nation\u2019s leading event focusing exclusively on sensors and sensor-integrated systems, Sensors Expo & Conference<\/a> (#Sensors16) today unveiled the two industry heavyweights who will keynote<\/a> the 2016 event. Dr. Ken Gabriel, widely regarded as the founder of the Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) industry, will kick off the event on Wednesday, June 22nd; Ray Zinn, author of \u201cTough Things First<\/a>\u201d and Silicon Valley\u2019s longest serving CEO, will give his keynote address on Thursday, June 23rd. As the industry\u2019s premier event, the 2016 Sensors Expo & Conference will bring together the foremost thought leaders and innovators to discuss the latest developments in sensing technologies and outline opportunities for the future.

Keynote speaker: Dr. Ken Gabriel <\/em>A veteran technologist with a distinguished track record of success across the public and private sectors, Dr. Ken Gabriel is credited with creating the MEMS industry through his role as co-founder of Akustica, a fabless semiconductor company that commercialized MEMS audio devices and sensors. In addition, Gabriel currently serves as Deputy Director of the Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) Group at Google and is the CEO of Draper Laboratory. He has also held the role of Deputy Director, and then Acting Director, of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the Department of Defense where he led an agency with an annual budget of $3 billion that is charged with managing the Department\u2019s portfolio of its most cutting edge projects to both create and avoid technology surprise.<\/p>\n

During his keynote Gabriel will leverage his vast experience to address how sensors are the unsung heroes of technology. To most consumers sensors are all part of a bigger package. To stand out you need to understand how consumers rely on the sensors you produce and then produce sensors that make devices stand out. Tools exist for you to understand how you can differentiate your products. Be more than a feature, be the discriminator for devices.<\/p>\n
