‘Sensors Converge’ Reports 5,000 attendees for 3-Day Event

Questex’s Sensors Converge announced it brought 5,000 attendees from over 40 countries together in-person June 27-29 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California to network, discover technologies, share ideas and define the future roadmap of the sensors and electronics industry. The three-day event featured nearly 230 exhibitors and over 75 conference sessions, as well as co-located events – Embedded Technologies Expo & Conference, Autonomous Technologies Conference, and Metaverse Global Congress. Both the event attendance and number of exhibitors almost doubled from 2021, reflecting a strong sign of the need for the industry to engage in person again.

Charlene Soucy, Senior Director, Sensors Converge, said, “It was an exhilarating three days of exploration and learning between attendees, speakers, and exhibitors at Sensors Converge and our co-located events. We are thrilled to have doubled onsite attendance from 2021, and we were excited to see over 50% new attendees from exciting companies such as 3M, Airbus, Amazon, Apple, Ford, Meta, Rivian, Shell, Sony, Waymo, and more. We look forward to bringing the industry back together on June 20-22 in 2023.”

Here’s what attendees and exhibitors had to say about the Sensors Converge.

“Our team members really enjoyed the showcase, the interactions with other robotics teams, as well as the conversations with professional engineers at the Expo. I believe that this event has planted a seed in their mind to be scientists and engineers in the future,” said Yiliang Wu, Ph.D., Sr. Principal Scientist/Manager, Corporate Technology Center.

“I found it really well organized and spent a lot of time talking to booth exhibitors since as a hardware product maker the attendees were exactly who I wanted to talk to,” said Kevin Hsu, CTO and Co-founder, Tellus.

“After a 2-year hiatus from in-person shows, we were concerned about the quality of trade shows as things begin to resume. Exhibiting is a major expense for small businesses like ours, but we decided to make the investment. The attendees were decision makers looking for solutions. We were able to meet and have conversations with the right people for our business, and came away with several high quality opportunities. Sensors Converge was a very worthwhile investment for us. It showed that in-person trade shows are still an important part of our marketing and sales strategy. We will see you there next year,” said Justin Hopper, Director of Marketing, Nexcomm Systems.
