Peggy Smedley, Editorial Director of Connected World and Constructech magazines, host, The Peggy Smedley Show and Constructech TV, managing partner the Peggy Smedley Institute and President of Specialty Publishing Media.
More than 20 years ago Peggy launched one of the most formative media companies in helping businesses to understand how disruptive and innovative technology will help them navigate the flood of digital transformation so they can remain viable and competitive.
As a speaker, strategist, influencer, and futurist, Peggy was imperative in ushering in the M2M/IoT (Internet of Things) era and taking a leading role in guiding companies to grasp how technology will alter their businesses. Today she focuses most of her energy on maneuvering companies through IoT and digital transformation.
She has enjoyed a career as an award-winning journalist with a long history of covering IoT, manufacturing, and construction technology; and in 2008 she even launched her very first podcast.
With more than 650 episodes, The Peggy Smedley Show is now ranked as the No. 1 IoT, AI, and digital transformation podcast airing every Tuesday at 12 pm central.
As an author and tech expert, she has collaborated on eight published books including her own, “Mending Manufacturing: How America Can Manufacture its Survival,” a book detailing all aspects of the American manufacturing crisis.
Each month, she educates the IoT community via Connected World (https://connectedworld.com) and Constructech (https://constructech.com) magazines. Her company has been able to take risks and invest in many areas, making it an innovative tech leader. Building on that success, in 2017 Peggy introduced Constructech TV (www.youtube.com/constructechtv), which digs into infrastructure, drills into global economic conditions, and addresses the talent gap by adopting a new vision and voice for the new skilled worker in construction, all with the help of technology.
In 2016, she launched the Peggy Smedley Institute, a top-ranked professional educational organization to provide comprehensive assessments for clients to focus on products, services, and profits, all while allowing them to stay ahead of their competition.
