A short woman trips on the way to the podium of the first panel discussion at Connections 2018, produced by smart-home research firm Parks Associates. She snipes, "And I'm a morning person." You know it's going to be a lively affair.

The 22nd Annual Connections Conference was chock full of colorful comments and interesting insights from the who's who of IoT. Obviously I couldn't sit through all of the sessions -- covering insurance, tech support, security, aging in place, voice control, utilities, AI, connected-home investments, and the rest of it -- but I typed furiously through several of the keynotes and panel discussions, capturing a few gems in the process.
