The IOT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC), the leading international event on industry transformation through disruptive technologies, returns in 2024 to help companies worldwide seize the full potential of cutting-edge technologies capable of redefining industries. The three-day summit will take place from May 21 to May 23 at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via venue and is expecting 12,000 visitors from more than 100 countries, over 400 exhibitors and a lineup of 250 speakers and experts taking part in 125 congress sessions.
On its eighth edition and under the theme “Disruptive Technologies for Industry Challenges”, IOTSWC will showcase a broad array of game-changing innovations including IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, Edge Computing, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, 5G connectivity, Renewable Energy, Cloud Computing, Big Data Analytics, and Robotic Process Automation.
IOTSWC will comprise four distinct areas, each tailored to provide a comprehensive platform of innovation focusing on knowledge sharing, disruptive trends and actionable solutions – Congress, Exhibition Area, Activities, and Security and Cybersecurity. The Congress program, curated by the International Society of Automation, will revolve around four main challenges that disruptive technologies need to address: Tech Enabled Transformation, Climate Change and Sustainability, Regulations and standards, and Security and cybersecurity.
In addition, the Activities area will include a Testbed Zone to display real-world applications of cutting-edge technologies, a Startup Pavilion to bring together the next-generation startups that are poised to revolutionize industries, the Women and Diversity in Industry Area to promote inclusivity and diversity in the tech world, and the Garden, a relaxed networking environment to foster new projects.
