The LoRa Alliance announced the full program for LoRaWAN Live Orlando, offering a wide variety of programming across technical and certification tracks, business developments and solutions, global and regional deployments, and live demos and exhibitions with a focus on smart cities, buildings and utilities. This is the first LoRaWAN Live event of 2023 and the only LoRaWAN Live of 2023 in the Americas and will take place at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando in Orlando, Florida, USA, from 15-16 March 2023.  

Program highlights include LoRa Alliance CEO and Chairwoman Donna Moore speaking about the LoRa Alliance ecosystem’s work to deliver solutions for digital transformation that optimize business operations, work environments, critical infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. As part of her keynote, she will host a panel with the City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and its partners TEKTELIC, eleven-x and OrbiWise from the LoRaWAN ecosystem to learn how Calgary became a world-class smart city using LoRaWAN.  

Additionally, MetaWorldX will share a live demonstration of a real smart city pulling in real-time LoRaWAN data as part of a city scale digital twin project. A second demo from Actility and Semtech will show how easy and economical it is to use LoRaWAN’s new relay feature to extend coverage in dense urban environments and underground, which is a critical advantage for LoRaWAN’s use in cities, buildings and utilities. Other program highlights include featured presentations from Cisco, Georgia-Pacific and Mueller Water Products.  

“The LoRa Alliance LoRaWAN Live events are must-attend learning and networking opportunities for anyone involved in IoT deployments, whether you’re at the earliest stages of inquiry or actively deploying LoRaWAN,” said Donna Moore, CEO and Chairwoman of the LoRa Alliance.

“We’re coming to Orlando next month because of the amazing growth we’ve seen in LoRaWAN deployments across the Americas, including massive projects in Latin America. LoRaWAN Live Orlando is the best opportunity this year to hear from, meet and network with our tremendous ecosystem and learn about LoRaWAN technology and how it can help you enable digital transformation to advance your business and sustainability goals.”  

LoRaWAN Live offers visitors the opportunity to join global LoRaWAN leaders, innovators, developers, system integrators, network providers, device manufacturers, end users, media, and more to connect, exchange ideas, share large-scale success stories, go in-depth about LoRaWAN features, and create partnerships. The event will also feature an extensive vendor marketplace, allowing visitors to explore LoRaWAN solutions and experience a multitude of live demonstrations.
