Running Low Power IoT at Scale

10:30 - 10:55

Welcome & Opening Keynote: LoRaWAN in Action: Turning IoT into Reality

LoRaWAN has moved from experimentation to large-scale, real-world deployment. This keynote explores how low-power networks are becoming core enterprise infrastructure, the use cases driving adoption, and what comes next for IoT at scale.

11:00 - 11:25

Presentation: Building the UK's Smart Water Infrastructure with LoRaWAN

Smart water metering is now operating at national scale across the UK. Learn how carrier-grade LoRaWAN networks are helping utilities reduce leakage, improve efficiency, and meet sustainability goals — and what it takes to deploy reliably at scale.

11:30 - 11:55

Presentation: Scaling LoRaWAN Networks: Lessons from Australia and Beyond

Scaling IoT from pilots to national infrastructure requires the right technical, commercial, and partnership models. This session shares practical lessons from deploying LoRaWAN networks across cities, utilities, and remote environments worldwide.

11:55 - 12:15

Networking Break

12:15 - 12:40

Fireside Chat: Lessons Learned: Scaling IoT from Startup to Enterprise

An honest discussion on what it really takes to scale IoT businesses. Drawing on real deployment experience, this session explores key decisions, common pitfalls, and practical advice for organisations moving beyond early-stage IoT.

12:45 - 13:10

Presentation: Operationalising ESG: How Scaled LoRaWAN Deployments Transform Building Control and Compliance

Meeting ESG goals requires smarter, data-driven building management. This session explores how large-scale LoRaWAN networks enable real-time monitoring, energy optimisation, and regulatory compliance, helping organisations turn ESG ambitions into measurable outcomes.

13:10 - 13:50

Lunch Break

13:50 - 14:15

Presentation: From Proof of Concept to Production: Making IoT Deployments Real

Many IoT projects fail to move beyond pilots. Learn what’s required to reach production — from device choice to network design — and how LoRaWAN deployments are delivering measurable value across buildings, industry, and public spaces.

14:20 - 14:45

Presentation: Early Warnings at Scale: Building IoT Systems That Detect Problems Before They Escalate

From fungal disease threatening banana crops in West Africa and Brazil to pollution events in UK rivers, early detection depends on data that arrives consistently, not occasionally. This session examines how IoT systems can be designed to scale as early-warning platforms rather than isolated sensor networks. It draws on real deployments to highlight the architectural, connectivity, and data challenges that organisations face when moving from proof-of-concept to operational scale.

14:50 - 15:15

Presentation: IoT Made Easy: Democratising Access to LoRaWAN Technology

Lowering the barriers to IoT adoption is key to wider innovation. This closing session explores how modular hardware, open standards, and community-driven development are enabling faster prototyping and scalable IoT solutions.
