During the conversation about the AVIXA IOTA report, we indicated we had reached out to AVIXA to get pricing for the IOTA report and had not gotten a response as of the time of the recording. AVIXA did provide a quote after the recording was complete. From Sean Wargo, “There are a couple of ways to buy in. Our MI bundle is priced at $4999 and offers a sampling from across our research, including a summary from IOTA. From there, a year’s subscription to the IOTA dashboard and associated reports are available for $12499. The member discount varies by level and so is best for those interested to contact us. “.
