Our visitors will meet leaders in the LoRaWAN ecosystem and our speakers will talk about:

• What is next with LoRaWAN?
• What secure element to use and why?
• How scalable is LoRaWAN really?
• How to use LoRaWAN with a SDR, and is that allowed?
• What are the scholars writing about LoRaWAN?
• What if we put a LoRaWAN gateway on a satellite in space?
• How does The Things Network use blockchain for further decentralisation and distribution?
• Taking a critical look back at the first 2 years of The Things Network?
