Industrial AI and Edge intelligence will dominate this year’s IoT Tech Expo Europe, reflecting the rapid shift in enterprise IoT from connecting devices to deploying autonomous, AI-enabled systems capable of making decisions in real time. The event will return to the RAI Amsterdam on 19-20 October 2026 as part of TechEx Europe. The event comes at a pivotal moment for the IoT industry. Manufacturers are accelerating Industrial AI initiatives, cities are investing in smarter infrastructure, organisations are deploying Edge AI to reduce latency and improve decision-making, and new cybersecurity regulations are placing greater emphasis on protecting connected devices throughout their lifecycle. As these technologies converge, businesses face growing pressure to move beyond pilot projects and successfully deploy Industrial IoT solutions at scale. “The IoT landscape is evolving incredibly quickly, so we’ve built this year’s agenda around the technologies and deployment challenges organisations are dealing with right now,” said Michael Hughes, Head of Conference at TechEx Events. “Whether it’s scaling Industrial AI, deploying Edge AI, securing connected devices or building the infrastructure for smarter cities, every session is designed to provide practical insight from the organisations leading these transformations. Our focus is on helping attendees understand not just what’s next, but what’s working today.” Reflecting these priorities, the conference programme at IoT Tech Expo Europe is built around four key themes shaping the future of connected industry: industrial AI and autonomous operations, connectivity, infrastructure and smart cities, Edge AI and real-time intelligence, and IoT security and embedded systems. The agenda is supported by experts from organisations including Schneider Electric, Bosch, Electrolux Group, Volvo Group, BMW Group, Capgemini, NXP Semiconductors, Infineon Technologies, Emerson, Renault Group, and DHL Supply Chain, alongside many other organisations driving innovation across manufacturing, automotive, logistics, and critical infrastructure.
