Bluetooth World 2017 brings together 1000+ developers, executives and start-ups on a busy exhibition floor to promote innovation, with conference and development sessions focused on Bluetooth development and applications. Bluetooth World, 28-29 March 2017, intends to provide participants with all the information and contacts that companies need to develop, test and market a Bluetooth 5 enabled product.
 

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) will welcome industry leaders from Google, Garmin, Toyota, Indiegogo, and more as speakers at the fourth annual Bluetooth World event. These industry innovators will anchor a refreshed Bluetooth World format offering attendees a unique opportunity to experience the power and potential of Bluetooth and see applications in action. The Bluetooth SIG event targets technology developers and companies looking to anticipate the challenges and opportunities of wireless applications and the new roadmap resulting from the evolution to Bluetooth 5. Bluetooth World 2017 takes place from 28-29 March 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, California.

The 22,000-square-foot exhibition floor will feature leading manufacturers like Qualcomm, ARM, or Silicon Labs, the Bluetooth SIG stand (featuring the finalists from the Imagine Blue competition as well as an array of SIG experts), and technology features focusing on audio, health and fitness, automotive and the smart home.

The two-day conference includes innovative designers and developers, as well as founders and engineers from well-known brands including Google, Zipcar, Qardio and Plantronics, who are using Bluetooth technology to create successful products. Developer sessions will offer the newest techniques and tools for implementing Bluetooth technology (including Bluetooth 5), as well as practical sessions on developing a custom Bluetooth peripheral and developing a Bluetooth application for Android and iOS using Apache Cordova.

This year’s event will celebrate the designs, products, and devices that are paving the way in our connected world and inspire developers to create the 'next big success story'. Bluetooth World 2017 will showcase the latest innovations in Smart Home applications, including smart lighting and consumer goods; connected Health and Fitness devices; and Automotive applications. Visitors to the automotive zone will be able to peek under the hood of a Tesla Model X P90 and get hands on with a range of connected car tools from Teledyne LeCroy.

The Audio Zone will allow exploring the latest in Bluetooth speakers, headphones, hearing aids, and other medical devices, and find inspiration from the likes of Mindtree, Cambridge Consultants, and many others, for manufacturers looking to create their own Bluetooth hearable.

Visitors with ongoing projects will be able to test the performance and interoperability of their product, completely free of charge, to ensure they meet the Bluetooth SIG’s standards and regulatory requirements.
