The Things Network

6 million commercial buildings in the US, and most broadcast nothing about their own health. No telemetry, no diagnostics, no warning until a tenant complains.

That's the problem Clayton Callander, President of Field Technologies (FTL), takes on at . Today, a single failure means hours of guesswork and multiple truck rolls, just as skilled technicians get harder to find.

His keynote "Increasing Technician Efficiency with IoT" argues the biggest win isn't another dashboard. It's making every technician more effective, using wireless LoRaWAN controls to reach the 95% of buildings that could never justify a traditional BAS, and turning live data into a single, plain-language work order before the technician leaves the shop.

How many IoT pilots stall before they ever hit production?

Marco Dietz, Product Manager at Thermokon, has spent the last six years building out the company's LoRaWAN product line for smart commercial buildings, after years in sensor solutions and process management.

His keynote, “Bridging the Gap Between IoT Ideas and Smart Building Reality,” offers a look at real-world smart building projects where standard systems hit their limits and how a turnkey approach can take IoT ideas beyond the pilot stage.

What if your Wi-Fi network could sense a fall, a fire risk, or an intruder without a single camera or wearable?

Fabian van Prooijen, co-founder and CEO of RadioSense, is turning existing wireless signals into privacy-first sensing for care, security and smart spaces. His keynote, "When Wireless Networks Become Sensors: Safety Without Surveillance," digs into the tech and the business model behind device-free sensing and why it doesn't have to mean surveillance.

Range, power, data rate, cost. Every IoT use case balances these differently, which is exactly why picking a connectivity standard is so hard.

Bassel Aboul Hosn, Product Marketing Engineer at Murata working on long-range connectivity and Wi-Fi/BT modules, takes the stage with "Navigating IoT Connectivity Options: Where Wi-Fi HaLow Fits in the Expanding IoT Toolkit", exploring where HaLow bridges the gap between LoRaWAN-style and traditional Wi-Fi connectivity.

Is your IoT company built to sell or built to last?

That's the question behind one of the sharpest sessions at . Allen Proithis, CEO of Capstone Partners (and former CEO of GXC, past President North America for Sigfox), teams up with Joseph Radecki, Managing Director in KPMG Corporate Finance LLC's TMT Investment Banking practice, who has closed 130+ M&A and capital-raising transactions across AI-IoT, edge computing and communications tech over nearly three decades.

Their keynote, "IoT M&A Market Check: Buy, Sell, Recap—or Hold?", is a candid look at what actually makes an IoT business attractive to buyers and investors today, and how founders and executives can decide whether to raise, sell, partner, recapitalize, or keep building independently.
