VDMA 
Vestdijk 27, Eindhoven

Join this Dutch Design Week Super Meetup bringing together: Eindhoven Internet of Things | Lean Startup Eindhoven | Open Eindhoven | MADspace

Things are becoming connected: Things are gathering information, They are talking to each other and They are talking to us! Today it is time for us to have an influence over how these technologies can (and will) develop value and meaning for us in the future; for people, for communities, for our cities and our environment.

Today a new crowdsourced, Open Data City Network is emerging: LoRaWAN, promising low-cost, low-power, low-bitrate, wide-area, Internet of Things City connectivity. Started in Amsterdam just a few months ago with The Things Network, it is spreading rapidly around the Globe

We kicked-off just a few weeks ago in Eindhoven, a community is forming and within a few weeks the first LoRaWAN sensors were connected ! And now, just 4 weeks later the Eindhoven LoRaWAN Internet of Things network will be launched. The start of a journey . . . where will it lead us?

Held in the middle of an inspiring Make The Future – Internet of Things exhibition VDMA MATCH by MadLab At the VDMA Garage, Vestdijk 27, Eindhoven 19.00 – 21.30

We kick the evening off with short presentations to inspire discussion and challenge different perspectives of our Internet of Things future:

René Paré (MAD emergent art center) “VDMA MATCH, introducing the results of an Internet of Things Live Lab by MAD emergent art center”

Sander Veenhof (Internet of Anonymous Things) “If everything has turned into data. What does that mean for us humans with our analog senses?”

Lorna Goulden (Creative Innovation Works) “Get ready for disruption, why we need to THINK and CREATE differently to innovate with the Internet of Things”

Johan Stokking (Tech Lead at The Things Network) “Current developments in The Things Network”

Oscar Kneppers (Rockstart) “What does this all mean for startups and entrepreneurs ?”

We will then briefly present the results of the recent LoRaWAN Technical Meetup to get the Eindhoven IoT network up and running
 before we open up for the remainder of the evening to discuss and network, explore the Make The Future – Internet of Things exhibition and share ideas for the next phase of actions that will influence our future
