SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With just days to go before doors open, Questex’s Sensors Converge 2026 is accelerating momentum, announcing the addition of three new hands-on workshops designed to give engineers practical, deployable skills across AI, IoT, and embedded sensing systems.
Taking place May 5–7, 2026 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Sensors Converge is shaping up to be one of its most dynamic editions yet—featuring a nearly sold-out expo floor, 160+ exhibitors, and thousands of engineers and decision-makers preparing to gather for three days of real-world innovation, collaboration, and technical learning.
New Workshops Added to the 2026 Program
The newly announced workshops provide deep technical training across AI, IoT connectivity, and embedded sensing systems—giving engineers the tools to build, test, and deploy immediately:
LoRaWAN to AI: Engineering the Sensor-to-Intelligence Pipeline
Tuesday, May 5 | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM | Great America 2
This interactive session explores how LoRaWAN enables large-scale IoT deployments and serves as the foundation for real-world AI systems. Participants will dive into network architecture, device management, and data pipelines—then apply those concepts in a hands-on team challenge designing a complete IoT-to-AI solution using live devices and networks.
Accelerate AIoT Adoption with /IOTCONNECT™ and ST AIoT Craft
Wednesday, May 6 | 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM | RSVP Required
Led by experts from Avnet and STMicroelectronics, this workshop walks participants through building a complete AIoT proof-of-concept—from sensor to cloud. Using real-time data, attendees will train and deploy edge AI models, securely connect devices, and visualize live telemetry through pre-built dashboards—demonstrating how integrated solutions accelerate time to market.
Leveraging the Adaptive Self-Configuration Features of ST’s High-G IMU
Thursday, May 7 | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM | Great America 2
Presented by STMicroelectronics, this hands-on session enables engineers to prototype sensor-based applications and rapidly deploy proof-of-concepts for motion detection and data acquisition. Attendees will work directly with the ISM6HG256X high-g IMU and explore advanced capabilities including finite state machine (FSM) configuration, adaptive self-configuration (ASC), and embedded machine learning for real-time edge decision-making.
Momentum Builds Ahead of Opening Day
As the event enters its final countdown, demand continues to surge:
- Expo floor nearly sold out
- 160+ exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technologies
- 50+ new companies making their debut
- Thousands of engineers and technical leaders already registered
From live demos and hands-on workshops to startup innovation and real-time collaboration, Sensors Converge delivers an immersive environment where ideas move quickly from concept to application.
Where Engineering Moves from Concept to Deployment
“Sensors Converge is where engineers go to build, not just learn,” said David Drain, Show Director, Questex. “With the event just days away, the energy is building. These workshops are designed to give attendees direct, hands-on experience with the technologies shaping the future—so they leave with solutions they can immediately apply.”
A Complete, Real-World Engineering Experience
The expanded workshop program complements a robust event experience, including:
- Live demos across robotics, autonomous systems, and edge AI
- Startup Zone featuring next-generation sensing companies
- Converge Main Stage and Live Theater sessions
- Dedicated tracks across MedTech, AutoTech, Embedded Systems, and Intelligent Sensing
