“Sensors Expo allowed us to see a number of products in one area while learning new techniques for using them along the way,” noted Glenn Monroe, Orthosensor. Exhibitor Dean Linden-Cox of Sandvik Palm Coast also commented, “The event was well attended and produced a good number of leads. It allowed us to showcase our company and products to a wide range of people who wouldn't necessarily be looking for what we offer.”
Spearheaded by Willard Tu, DSP Concepts, Inc., the event also featured the launch of a new Automotive & Autonomous Vehicle Sensors Workshop. Held on June 28th, the half-day session featured a series of panel discussions focusing on sensors and their role in automotive and autonomous vehicles offering attendees a detailed look at the key trends and technologies impacting the market today and what to anticipate in the future. In addition, the Autotech Council hosted a “Startup Review” to highlight four new and exciting startups.
