Unlike other events, this doesn't present a speculative view of a premature future, but rather offers insights into a framework directly relevant to revolutionary mass-development. It is perhaps for this reason, that its appeal is indiscriminate, persistent and unequivocal. The Minister for Electronics & IT, Law & Justice, Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad has acknowledged and indicated his pleasure at the conduction of the first edition of this conference. Testimonials and overwhelmingly positive acknowledgements have poured from all parts of the world, ranging from Silicon Valley to the Netherlands.

Being Asia's largest conference on LoRaWAN technology, this global gathering of experts and professionals pertinent to IoT & LoRaWAN — CEOs, CTOs, governments, industry leaders, startups and tech-enthusiasts, is expected to serve as an all-inclusive platform that creates new avenues for businesses, collaborations and expanding IoT using the revolutionary LoRaWAN technology. An ocean of opportunities lies ahead, as LoRaWAN can make IoT ubiquitous, drastically incrementing its accessibility and affordability, even in the third world.

The event is perhaps the most comprehensive treatment that the technology has received till date in the subcontinent. A dedicated Government Pavilion and a dedicated Startup Pavilion have been categorically designated and rigorously developed. Besides, there will be both exclusive and open workshops targeted towards specific niches. The highlight of the event will be keynote addresses from industry and field experts, which shall constitute a learning experience into the novel technology that everyone from students to IT professionals to business and government executives, are looking forward to. The Expo Hall and the Wall of Fame are other major attractions. It will also offer a promising platform for businesses to showcase their products and innovations. This has created quite a buzz on the tech-innovation scene in India.
