PORTLAND, Oregon, October 10, 2014 – SSOE Group (www.ssoe.com), a global engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) firm, announced today that SSOE Vice President Clem Wood will present at the annual SEMI Pacific Northwest fall breakfast forum. This year, the event is hosted by SSOE and will be held on Wednesday, October 29th, at SSOE’s office in Hillsboro, Oregon.

“Era of Internet of Things: A Technology Revolution” will explore how the Internet of Things, a growing network of devices and everyday things that use embedded technology to communicate via the internet, will change the face of technology.
