Registrations are officially open for the hands-on workshop track at IoT Sparks 2026, the global conference driving practical Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence adoption. Taking place on October 6, 2026, the day before the main conference and expo event, this year’s hands-on sessions offer attendees an unprecedented opportunity to level up their technical expertise in cutting-edge IoT deployment and AI.
Access to these interactive workshops is included with the standard event pass at no extra cost. However, because sessions prioritise immersive, practical learning, individual workshop capacity is strictly limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis until full capacity is reached. Attendees are encouraged to claim their spot as soon as possible at https://www.iot-sparks.com/workshops. A promotional Flash Sale is also currently active, offering discounted full-access tickets for a limited time.
